Trash the Dress Wedding Style!

Trash the Dress!

I know, you probably read that headline and are thinking, “What!!!???!!!”
Trash the dress photo sessions are not for the faint of heart. It’s a photo
session done AFTER the wedding and honeymoon are over to symbolically
show your husband that you will NEVER need your wedding dress again.
The purpose of the photo shoot is to get some very creative and different
photos of you in your dress.
An increasingly popular trend in wedding photography, “trash the dress”
exposes a new concept in formal picture taking. Daring to wear the
hallowed white dress in a non-traditional setting such as a back alley, on a
railroad track, a ballpark or in a grassy meadow, brings shrieks of horror to
some and squeals of delight in others.
Imagine pulling out the dress five or 10 years after the wedding and
capturing a whole new mood while wearing the matrimonial symbol of
innocence and elegance.
Dress trashing can be as tame or as wild as your imagination.
Beautiful, fun, weird, different, amazing, lovely, and sometimes wet and
messy. These are the words that describe the trend of juxtaposing a lovely
dressed person into an unexpected situation. Your dress won't necessarily
get trashed but I won't hesitate in asking you to sit down on a dirt road, lay
on the grass or sand, lean against a moss covered tree, jump into a pool
or have a snowball fight in your finest, all in the spirit of artistic expression.
These images can truly capture your personality in a real way that is
unthinkable on your wedding day.
