Would you 'trash' your wedding dress?
'Trash the dress' photo shoots are rapidly increasingly in popularity in the world of wedding photography, allowing you to get the dramatic and unusual shots which can be impractical on the day itself. With some choosing to completely obliterate their dress, your imagination is the only limitation. I've seen examples of dresses being torn, splattered with paint or even burned!
To mark our 1st wedding anniversary I chose to have a 'trash the dress' photo shoot in the beautiful town of St Andrews, Scotland, where my husband and I met and got married. Although I didn't want to completely destroy the dress I did want to have a bit of fun with it and here are some of the results....
The session itself was brilliant and really fun to do! The dress remained mostly intact however did collect a LOT of sand, seaweed and other beach debris. It didn't smell too great either! I did choose to have it dry cleaned afterwards and although a little stained, it holds some happy memories.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on these kind of photos! Is this something you have done or would be prepared to do with your wedding dress?
