Extreme Bride AKA "Trash the Dress"

Ok, so I'm headed down to the country to do my first Extreme Bride (Trash the Dress Session)! I'm so excited and so ready for this new wave of photography to finally make it's way down to the south. Trash the Dress dress refers to photographs that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is completely out of place. A model often wears their wedding dress, and may effectively ruin the dress in the process by getting it wet, dirty or in extreme circumstances tearing or destroying the garment. It may also be done as an additional shoot after the wedding, almost as a declaration that the wedding is done and the dress will not be used again. It is seen as an alternative to storing the dress away, never to be seen again. Yet some brides may not want to totally trash their dress in water or mud, and there are in fact an unlimited number of ways to “step outside the box” with this kind of portraiture. Maybe the bride is only up for walking through fields, along railroad tracks or through abandoned buildings, all of which can work just as well. The risk to the dress is still there, of course, but real damage can be avoided. I will post pictures as soon as I can. Hopefully this will be something I offer daring brides in the future! Let me know what you think and if you would be interested in being an "extreme" bride! Wish me luck...

Madison

Here are a few of my favorite shots of a little girl I had a shoot with a couple weeks ago. She was absolutely adorable and made my job so much easier! We had a lot of fun, especially when I brought out the huge lollipop. Hope you like them!
