TRASH THE DRESS: The lot of the wedding dress is not necessarily a happy one. For the vast majority of women, it is by far the most expensive item of clothing that she will ever wear, albeit just once and usually for few short hours. After that, if lucky, it will be cleaned before being incarcerated in a tissue-lined box for the forseeable future. There are however a few at this stage which will be literally ‘thown away’ without further thought due to the cost of cleaning and the inconvenience of storage. Most wedding dresses survive many years either in their cardboard box perched in the top of the wardrobe (or in the loft), or in a gown bag (being gradually scrunched up in a corner of the closet) ‘in case’ the daughter wants to wear it when she eventually gets married. This is where the idea of ‘Trash the Dress’ comes into play. No, Trashing the Dress (or TTD for short) does NOT generally mean either damage or destruction, but simply gives a second opportunity for the dress to be worn, though this time in a more unusual and casual situation. |

Many photographers are now offering TTD as a post wedding option, but care must be taken, as it is all too easy to see the dress irreparably damaged in the process. In reality, as there are few brides prepared to try this idea for size, few photographers ever have the experience to ensure that nothing untoward happens to the gown during the shoot. We therefore recommend that any bride looking to have a TTD session with their dress, asks to see some sets of images from similar past shoots before making a booking. Alternatively you may come to us for your shoot - and yes, we travel country-wide to do them too! To-date we have the experience of over THIRTY Trash the Dress shoots to our name, so we might just recommend you come to the experts :) One last thing look at is the price. I doubt if you will find a better value package than the one we offer, even considering our wide-ranging experience in this field. |
