eXtreme session kick off!

It's never a dull moment here at Fat Cat! After Vegas, the wedding, and some family issues to tend to, etc. we were featured in The Wichita Eagle with T&J Studios, Inc. for our eXtreme sessions and "trashing the dress" on Thursday the 16th. When we saw it online we realized while reading the comments section that the TTD (Trash the dress) sessions really stir up controversy. But we enjoy it and the brides thus far have enjoyed it. Just yesterday we shot a new session for Stephanie and Cameron who were married in Mexico and came home to Wichita to have a ball with their session. They were game for about anything. We started out easy downtown with some shots under the railroad trusses and progressively got a little wilder into evening when we finished at a private lake for a full dress-dunking. We are not advocates of destroying the dresses or attire and Stephanie's dress was actually alot cleaner than we anticipated it would be! We had to be careful as she will be wearing it once again for a reception here locally.

In the meantime, we are very excited about the newest bookings of eXtreme sessions that have been coming in prior to the article in the Eagle. We are doing a session this fall here in town and again in Kansas City in the snow this winter. We were also very excited for our most recent booking for next summer, an eXtreme session in Denver, Colorado the day after the wedding!

Remember ladies, you can choose to do an eXtreme session with your groom or on your own as more of an eXtreme bridal spotlight video! (Very cool...) Dry cleaning works wonders, and you'll want to clean the dress prior to preservation anyhow :)

The sessions are starting to become more popular as we continue to promote them. Put on your creative thinking caps and think of an eXtreme session that fits your sense of style! (As dirty as you want to get- or not)

The photos posted here first depict what Barry and I went through to get some of our more creative angles! You can't be afraid of heights to film an eXtreme session! Next is Stephanie's dress on the ground (and in the dirt) under the railroad trusses. The third picture shows Stephanie and Cameron as they escape to the shore after our 'chase boat' idea went awry! Then the last two sort of speak for themselves, it was time to get wet and wild! Stephanie and cameron went running full bore into the lake and proceeded to dunk one another and Stephanie let her hair down for a cool shot!
