Delight in Disorder by Robert Herrick
A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness:
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction–
An erring lace, which here and there
Enthrals the crimson stomacher–
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbands to flow confusedly–
A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat–
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility–
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part.



We seriously can’t get enough of the gracious Ms. Ricci. We photographed her wedding and bridal session, her pin up session and now her anti-bridal photos. Now all we need are maternity and newborn;) As you may or may not know, JMC has been coined as the “godfather” of the Trash the Dress phenomenon. Considering we actually don’t even offer “Trash the Dress” sessions, we find it humorous. But we do offer anti-bridals and we do not offer them to just anyone. Not only is there a hefty price tag attached to these but this art is more about the concept and about finding the right person. John Michael Cooper came up with this idea just under a year ago while photographing a live concert. Ricci was the perfect subject and when she arrived for her pin up shoot, we explained that we had finally formed the concept for her very own anti-bridal.
