We have been getting a lot of questions lately about our most recent “trash the dress” session. Because this is a newer trend, we thought we should take a little time to explain the rage!
”Trash the dress” is a new way to get a little more wear out of your wedding dress. Let’s face it, your dress that you spent so much money on is NEVER going to be worn again! Your daughter is NOT going to want to wear an outdated dress. You are likely going to want to experience the thrill of helping her find that perfect dress after shopping all over town. Why spend the extra money to have your dress dry cleaned when it is going to simply hang in the closet or be tucked away in a box forever? So, instead of spending more on the dress, why not spend more time in it??
This session is an absolute blast, for both us as photographers, and the bride. The session is shot after the wedding, so there is no more stress. Who cares if the dress gets dirty at this point? It is a laid back session full of fun. This is the chance for our bride to feel a bit more sexy in her dress and show some attitude. Don’t forget about the groom too! The groom can either be a part of the shoot and get some really steamy shots with his new bride, or just enjoy the photos of his bride. Believe it or not, this is something that the groom really loves!
There are a TON of locations that can really be great for this session. For instance: waterfalls (like our last session), lakes, fountains (such as Centennial Olympic Park), beaches, etc. If getting wet is not your thing, how about: farms (with machinery looks really cool), trains, old cars, urban settings (such as Chattanooga), etc. This is really a chance to let your hair down and let us show off our creativity.
We hope this gives everyone a clearer vision on what “Trash the Dress” is all about. If you have any questions, let us know and we can discuss it further. We would love to have our next session with you!
