Trash the Dress, Drown the Gown, The Day After, Bridal Boudoir, Bridal Fashion, etc. - these names may vary. I coined my own - Trash the Stress - and I wrote some articles about it in my blog.
The wedding is a unique, non-repeatable and fast-moving event requiring more photojournalism than creativity. But the end of the wedding day is not the end of the wedding photography. The most beautiful and creative photos happen on the day after.
Creative wedding photographers became very trendy in the recent years. Trash the Dress sessions offer unique opportunities for brides to wear their gowns again, but this time in a less stressful atmosphere. Trash the Dress is a more candid experience, allowing couples to put themselves in various scenarios and poses, away from the dogmatic wedding photography approach.
I offer Trash the Dress photo sessions as parts of my packages and separately. These sessions may happen on "the day after" as well as many years after the wedding. The possibilities are endless and it's up to you to decide which creative direction youÕll take. And whatever your idea of ÒtrashingÓ your dress is, DO IT! Creative post-wedding photography is not only about trashing the dress. A lot of brides do not want to trash something they have spent serious money on.
Post-wedding creative photography often defines the line between pros and amateurs. It is cool. It is fun. It is modern and trendy. And most of all it's all about your precious memories!
