What is a Trash the Dress Session?
A Trash the Dress session is a bold and artistic style of wedding photography that contrasts the elegance of wedding attire with environments where it wouldn’t traditionally belong. Typically shot in a fashion or glamour style, it allows the bride (and sometimes the groom) to break free from the wedding day's tight schedule and enjoy a more relaxed, creative photoshoot.
Why Have a Trash the Dress Session?
- Unique, Artistic Photos: These sessions allow you to get daring, non-traditional photos that stand out from your typical wedding shots.
- Express Your Personality: Trash the Dress sessions let you and your partner showcase your individuality, capturing your love in a fun, unconventional way.
Creative Location Ideas:
- Park or playground
- Beach, pool, or lake
- Urban settings with unique architecture
- Rustic fields or countryside
- Mountains or rocky landscapes
- Areas with urban decay or graffiti
- Fountains, piers, or train tracks
- Amusement parks or state fairs
Do I Have to Trash My Dress?
Not at all! The name is more playful than literal. You can get adventurous—splashing in water, walking through woods, or even horseback riding in the snow—but it doesn’t mean your dress will be ruined. Most dresses can be restored with professional cleaning afterward. You could also consider buying an affordable dress specifically for the shoot to keep your original dress pristine. The groom can go casual too, or simply rent his attire for an extra day.
Can I Book a Session Even If You Didn’t Shoot My Wedding?
Absolutely! You can still book a Trash the Dress session with us, even if we aren’t your wedding photographers. It’s a great way to add something unique and exciting to your wedding photo collection, captured in out-of-the-ordinary locations.
