Zach and Lori Trash the Dress

You may be asking yourself, what the heck is trash the dress ?? Well, this post should cover everything you would want to know about it as a picture tutorial. Trash the dress is exactly what it sounds like in the sense that you put on your wedding dress (after you've worn it down the aisle of course) and for the sake of being creative, having fun, and just to wear it again, you do things you would typically never do in a wedding dress! Zach and Lori were kind enough to take a whole day with me to get some variety in how they could trash their dress. We snagged it on a run down building, drug it through a creek, splashed all kinds of paint all over it, and to top it all off, shredded it! We took things a little overboard with our session but that's what I love about these types of shoots.... no two are alike and you can do whatever you want in your dress! After all why shouldn't you?

Trash the Dress!

So last Fall Carly and I took some advice from our dear friends (and my bosses) Ray and Erica and participated in a Trash the Dress session. I was siked because I got to not only go on the shoot, but be in it too. I didn't have too much time behind my camera before Ray told me to climb into Sope Creek right along with Carly but I did manage to pull off a few good shots before I had to pack up my equipment.

You'll also notice that the last picture I got was of Ray getting his shots while I found a different angle. Make sure to visit 35 Atlanta's blog to see even more of our trash the dress photos from Ray and Erica because they are INCREDIBLE!!
