Last October, myself and 6 other top photographers from Saskatoon and area, all members of the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC), organized our second annual trash the dress for charity event. It was a huge success! First and foremost I would like to thank all of our beautiful brides who participated. Together we raised over $4400 for the Children's Hospital foundation of Saskatchewan! Thank you to all the fabulous photographers who donated their time and talent to this cause; Gina's portraits, Danielle Stasiuk Photography, Stuart Kasdorf Photographics, Stobbe photo, Grant Romancia Photography, Vanessa Savage Photography, and of course myself, Memories by Mandy photography.
The pampering started a week before the big day at Just for you day spa. On the big day, they arrived at Unique Look hair design to get their hair done by their fabulous stylists. They also had their makeup done by Make-up In Motion, 13 Stars make up, Kendal Kayter and Crysta Coates. Didn't they do a great job? Wild Cuisine Catering provided a delicious lunch for our lovely ladies. Once they were all dolled up Living Skies Limousine picked them up and chauffeured them around for the day. We arrived at the first location, Ebon Stables, where they were each given a bouquet. Michelle's flowers provided our flower bouquets and Sight for Style Designs provided the feather bouquets. They were a huge hit!
We arrived at the second location, a grungy downtown area. Sova Designs provided the stunning head piece that the brides were fortunate enough to wear in some of the shots. Lastly, we made it to the last location, the riverbank. All of the brides were up for going right in the water despite the cool temperatures. They were all troupers! I just went in up to my ankles and couldn't feel my feet, so I can only imagine how my bride felt when she was completely submerged in the water!
Needless to say, it was an amazing day! Another huge thank you to all of our lovely brides for participating. Also, an enormous thank you to all of our fabulous vendors who donated 100% of their products/services so 100% of the proceeds could go to this lovely cause!
Want to participate next year as a bride or vendor? Please contact us for details!

Interesting takes! My daughter rides at Ebon and used to work there - she drove that tractor for over 2 years and has stood in that stall where you took that picture many times. I wonder if she has every thought how cool wedding pictures would look there.
