Mermaid Brides: I’m Breaking The Rules Of Traditional Posing And Bringing My Brides Underwater!
Forget what you knew about your typical wedding photos! I am breaking all the rules of traditional posing and taking my bride and groom photos underwater! By bringing them into the underwater realm, anything becomes possible. I incorporate the weightless environment underwater with bridal beauty and elegance to transform the brides into mermaids, and bring their wedding dresses to life!
I grew up in the ocean and have always admired underwater photography shots of reefs, fish, etc. After seeing beautiful photos of surfers diving underwater and other interesting photos from around the world, I knew that I had to bring my clients underwater. After investing in Ikelite housing, I read everything I could involving shooting underwater (even though all the articles involved photographing fish, the information was invaluable)! After a few test shoots and safety sessions, I captured a few children and pregnant women underwater. Since I am mainly into wedding photography it was only natural for me to reach out to my brides! I figured let’s get their wedding dresses out of the closet and create some art!
After my first bride was willing to try my photoshoot ideas, I was immediately hooked on how beautiful a wedding dress could flow underwater. After a few pool sessions, I wanted to take it a step further. I found a group of divers willing to get into wedding dresses and tuxes and join me 30 feet underwater in the Florida Keys to shoot amongst the reefs! With an entire crew of safety divers and months of planning, we pulled off an array of bridal fashion in the depths of the ocean!

Wedding dresses do some fab things underwater! I think we'll be seeing more (fashion) photography underwater now.
The dresses truly are amazing underwater!

Oh my, I find these truly stunning. Your work is quite unique and beautiful.
Beautiful suspended affect! But--I think ALL brides should have their eyes open or they give the impression that they are dead in the water!
Thank you for the compliment Barbara. I have plenty of photos with brides with their eyes open and sometimes eyes-closed are better!

Are the brides really in their wedding dresses under water?? How do you get them clean and dry for the wedding???????
All of my clients shoot these types of underwater bridal photos after the wedding has taken place.

Yes, they really are underwater! As long as they are professionally dry-cleaned they are OK after!

It looks pretty but made me want to take a deep breath of fresh cool air.
