Cynthia had a wonderful idea to have part of their Tinywater San Francisco engagement session incorporate some trash the dress photos on the beach! If you don’t know, “trash the dress” has been a fun trend in the last few years where brides wear their special dresses in locations that you would never expect, all because of the fear for ruining it! Cynthia wore a floor length white dress, which looked as if it could be a wedding dress but was used just for this particular portion of their session! We think her idea is a genius way to allow brides that want to keep their wedding dress in pristine condition to participate in this fun photo shoot.

If you know us here at Tinywater, then you know how much we love meeting couple’s dogs! Cynthia and Jimmy brought along Frosty, their tiny and adorable Pomeranian pup.

We captured a few intimate moments during their San Francisco engagement session before we headed into the sun, sand, and water for our trash the dress photos. I love how just looking at this set of photos from their session look like they are from an intimate and casual beach wedding. Cynthia’s white dress and flower in her hair were so simple yet elegant.

As we headed into the sun and down to the shore, our timing couldn’t have been better – the lighting was absolutely perfect for our trash the dress photos.

Frosty really knew how to work the camera! That haircut and smile of his are so fierce! He had a blast running around these two as they danced on the beach.

I love the way her dress flowed and fluttered in the wind.

And into the water they go! Trash the dress photos don’t necessarily mean you have to go all out and completely ruin the dress. We just loved that Cynthia wasn’t scared to jump in the water for some beautiful moments with her fiance.

We were so excited to capture these trash the dress photos with Cynthia and Jimmy but it was time to move on from the beach and back into the city for some fun urban San Francisco photos!
