Not quite a TTD shoot…

So, on Saturday we were supposed to have a Trash the Dress session at a forest preserve north of Chicago. Three other photographers and I were up early, doing some scouting, getting our gear ready, and then headed to the restaurant where we were supposed to meet our model. Then we waited for her.

And waited.

And waited… for about an hour and a half.

Turns out that while driving down from Wisconsin, she got into an accident with an SUV, spent the day in the ER, and lost her phone in the process. Yes, she’s fine, thank God.

However, we didn’t know about any of this until she was finally able to get a hold of me that evening.

So, what do 4 photographers do with no model? Improvise! We headed back to the forest preserve, got out our gear, and just took turns modeling for each other. All things considered, I think we got some fun shots. Here are a few of mine:
