Is your wedding day experience really over after the last piece of cake is eaten and the last glass of champagne is drunk? Not at all! I'm noticing a lot of my brides are hiring a professional photographer after their wedding, where they trash their wedding dress and capture amazing pictures while doing it!
The really amazing thing about a "trash the dress" photo shoot is that you can create whatever type of images you like. For instance, you could choose a very high fashion look, something you might see in Vogue or a sexy modern grungy look that you might see on the runways. Yes, you can get messy and dirty but you can also look sexy, dark and moody all incorporating high fashion hair and makeup. It can be a complete contrast to your engagement and wedding pictures. A sort of alter ego if you wish....
It could be your moment to play "top fashion model" for a day!
This might sound crazy or maybe not to some but when I was a little girl I was nuts about Barbie's. I used to dress them up and do crazy things with their hair and have them walk around as if they were on a runway! Even poor Ken was my victim for years. : ) (I know what you're thinking....but my talent did improve as I grew older!) I see a "trash the dress" photo shoot as a grown up version of playing Barbie's. : ) I also think bringing your own version of Ken (i.e. hubby of course!) along would make the shoot even more incredible!

Consider a "trash the dress" photo shoot as an extension of your wedding event. It only makes sense to do something unique but at the same time very beautiful and very current. Consider all aspects of the shoot, make it special, create a theme, hire the best photographer you can find/afford (I know a lot of great photographers so please get in touch if you need some references) and don't forget about your hair and makeup! Choose an artist that can give you the fashion look you've dreamed of your whole life but most importantly, have a great time.
See you all soon!
