Our Trash the Dress shoot!

posted by: Karrie on 18 August 2008

Great fun yesterday with our first Trash the Dress shoot - the latest craze sweeping the world of weddings ...

Brides just want to have fun!

We were at Team-Action in Hamstall Ridware, which as well as being a great venue for stag and hen parties is also a superb photography location - so many superb unusual shots!

If you haven’t caught up with ‘Trash the Dress’ yet and you love your perfect wedding dress - don’t panic, it’s not just about ruining your dream gown! Although some brides do just that, mostly it’s an opportunity to take some unusual, attractive and even sexy photos for you to present to your Groom as a gesture of love. It says ‘Our marriage will last forever so here I am showing you that I won’t be wearing this dress for anyone else but you so here are these photos just for you.’

Of course it’s also an opportunity to relax and have fun where you can look like a magazine model - without the audience - and even better, you get to wear THE dress again!

Our brides on the shoot were Amber Dancey, Ruth McLoughlin and Trish Butler and it was great to see Amber’s mum Sandra and Ruth’s bridesmaid and future bride Esther too. Ruth, Amber and Trish were absolutely brilliant, so thank you all for being such fun to work with. We’ll be posting more photos and a video soon - but in the meantime here’s a fun pic of all three together ... three absolute Super Stars!

We filmed the shoot too, so watch this space ...!
