If "trashing the dress”, is not a term you’ve heard yet, it will be. It’s the newest thing to hit wedding photography and it’s big. What it means is, anywhere from one day to one year after your wedding you get dressed back up in your wedding gown and go for a photo shoot, without any concern for keeping your dress clean or in some cases even wearable again after this session. This is not for the sentimental or faint of heart bride. But it does lead to some gorgeous pictures. Brides have posed with animals, on city streets, in fountains, and in the ocean just to name a few spots. The elegant look of the dress against a rustic background can make for a glamorous and unique photo. Just take a look at this site, http://www.trashthedress.com/ , for some examples. A few of the photographers in this area are catching on to this trend and running with it. If you don’t plan on saving your dress or want to sell it, you might want to think about doing this for some once in a lifetime pictures.

Great idea! We would love to be the photographers on some shoots where brides are willing to "get down and dirty!" We actually offer an after the wedding shoot with all of our wedding packages, but none of our brides have offered to jump in the swimming pool yet. That would be great! Sign us up!
