Down by the River

On September 30, I tired something new to me. I along with several other local photographers headed down to the Florida line with a few models to Trash the Dress.

What is Trash the Dress? After the wedding day is over and the wedding gown is getting ready to be stored away in plastic for the rest of its life some brides and grooms are choosing to do something different, something fun- Dress Trashing. The bride and sometimes the groom also, are photographed in not so clean places, a girl would never dream of going in her wedding gown before the big day. The sessions result in very unique and stunning images.

Why should a bride do this? WHY NOT?!

You’ve made a commitment to your husband. He’s your one and only true love, right? Then you’ll never need the dress again. And no, your daughter won’t wear it in 20-30 years. So you have 3 choices:
1) Suffocate it in plastic and throw it in a closet
2) Show your husband how committed you are by trashing the dress, and get some great fun pictures while you do it!
3) Get some awesome photographs of yourself in that dress so show your daughter, how awesome Mommy was in her gown.

Go ahead, you know you want to. Trash it. Get it dirty. Get it wet. Roll around in the mud. Drench it in the ocean. Totally trash it.

This Trash the Dress session took place down by the river is was awesome! The models were great and willing to do anything, and working with other photographers was fun as well.

Here are a few images from the day. Enjoy!








What bride and bridesmaid wouldn't want to do this to eachother after the wedding?













The photographer gets down and dirty too! One of the cool things about going out with a group of photographers is that you get some photos of yourself working. Here are a few of me thanks to Kelly Williams, of The Bond Between Us, and Jill Higgins, of Jill Higgins Photography. Thanks guys!



Me, waist deep. I actually ended up to my neck.
