Trash the Dress

In case you haven't heard the new wedding trend is called "Trash the Dress" and it is a BLAST. I had my first trash the dress shoot on Sunday and the weather was perfect...hot, humid, very windy....you know all those things you pray DON'T happen on your wedding day. Well this shoot is all about having fun in your wedding dress and getting some AWESOME pictures.

Dawn is my first trash the dress bride and was I ever so lucky with a beautiful model. At first she was a little shy, but by the end she was helping pick out the spots and having a blast. My plan was to pick out a few (4 or 5) of my favorites, but I couldn't narrow it down. I know there is a lot and I might change it to a slideshow later, but for now here they are.

Special thanks to Dawn for being so easy to photograph and Cheryl for being our wonderful assistant.

We started out at this old fire truck that I drive by every day on my way to work and think of all the things I could shoot in front of it. FINALLY..........







Then we found a little park bench downtown.



One of my favorite shots



This is about the time Dawn started to loosen up







Dawn spotted the road closed sign



Then we decided to change it up a bit and go for the girl in the dress being a little trashy. Thanks to the Cashew for letting us use their bar





We stopped by a fountain for some fun...Dawn never actually went through the fountain because she was saving up for the grand finale





Dawn spotted this little pond and swing while we were driving. She was running to the swing like a child...so excited







Then off to our grand finale. I'm saving most of these pictures for the slideshow so jut a little teaser for you. Thanks to Brian and Toni for use of the pool





Okay so this is the longest blog ever, but doesn't it look like fun?? We can take it as far as you want to take it. Maybe a little dirt or submerged in water, it is all up to you. If you are ready to get that dress out of the closet give me a call.
