Trash the Dress (TTD)
Fun, crazy, spontaneous, sexy, silly, sassy, whatever-you-want-it-to-be photo session after your wedding. FORGET throwing your wedding dress into a plastic bag and storing it in the attic. Enter the Trash the Dress photo session, in which the bride, post-wedding, jumps back into her gown and puts it through its paces — swimming in it, wearing it on horseback, even burning it — all while her photographer clicks away.
1. Why in the world would I want to do this? Good question. Let’s start off by remembering that you only get to wear your wedding dress about four times in your life – once when you are looking for your perfect dress; once at the fitting; for your bridal portrait, and on your wedding day. Participating in a TTD session gives you a chance to put on your beautiful dress one more time, and pose for pictures that you would never get the chance to do on your wedding day, and at a great location. You can relax and enjoy looking fabulous in your dress one last time while we take great pictures of you looking relaxed and fabulous!
2. Will my dress be ruined? The term “Trash the Dress” was coined by the photographer who came up with the idea. It’s not our intention to ruin your dress, so we consider TTD to be more of an “extreme bridal,” or “extreme fashion” shoot, where we take you to a great location and shoot some unbelievably creative and beautiful shots. If you’re worried about getting your dress wet or dirty, we suggest talking to a dry cleaner before the shoot about cleaning charges.
3. I got married couple of years ago. Can I still do a TTD? You bet! It doesn’t matter how long ago you got married, if you still feel like a bride!
4. How much does it cost? A typical TTD session is $199 for 1 hour and $99 each additional hour. The photos will be displayed in a photo gallery for you to choose from and then put on a CD.
