• I took off from work early that day to make it to the bash.  I drove 2
  hours from NYC to Atlantic City, NJ to meet the group there at 5:00pm. 
  I got there just in time.  About 11 brides showed up where the famous Mark Eric and Jason Dominguez
  greeted us.  We were then taken up into a suite to get changed and
  ready for the shoot.  It was lively to say the least, in the suite with
  all the girls running around getting ready, doing hair & make up. 
  There was also a camera crew there from Germany documenting the bash. 
  When we were all ready all the brides paraded down in their gowns
  through the casino and to the boardwalk where the photographers were
  waiting patiently for us to arrive.  We caused quite a scene on the
  casino floor, with a lot of guys asking us to marry them as we walked
  by (really old gross ones too! eww).  We walked out of the hotel doors
  onto the boardwalk and were greeted by a roar of applause by the
  photographers waiting outside.  I was in shock.  I didn't know there
  would be so many photographers there.  We were then paired up with 4-5
  photographers to each bride and we were off!  We started taking
  pictures inside the hotel and worked our way out.  If there was ever a
  time where I felt like a movie star this was it.  I had 4 cameras on me
  at all times.  It was extremely foggy that evening.  I'm talking about
  10 feet visibility and at first I was a bit upset by it.  Because most
  of the TTD pics I've ever seen were in a bright & sunshiny
  setting.  But later I realized how it added an extra something to the
  tone & mood of the pictures.  My group of photographers were
  great.  They made me feel at total ease in front of the camera.  I was
  able to let loose and have fun.  I trudged through sand, climbed up on
  a small pier, not to mention I laid down on it and it was full of green
  algae, I got wet in the water, all in all I had tons of fun.

  Here are some sneak peek pictures from the shoot given to me by Arthur & Katya of Story Motion Studios
  who were wonderful to work with, and were sweet enough to provide me
  with these to show you while I wait for the rest of the photos to
  arrive.

  Oh and as for my dress?  When I came home I rinsed it out with some
  mild detergent in the tub and hung it dry.  I think it's ready for
  another TTD shoot.  It's as good as new again!
