Trash the Dress Shoots have been gaining popularity in the US for the last couple of years, however they have yet to make such an impact in the UK. Which I feel is a Shame, but they offer the opportunity to get some incredible Images.

While Trash the Dress is how commonly these types of Shoots are known (they can also be called ‘Cherish the Dress’ or ‘Rock the Frock’), the trashing of the actual wedding dress is something that I see as optional.

Indeed, the dress is often made to measure, and designed to your own personal specification, and will have many happy memories of your wedding day attached to it, but I think it is a pity for it to go into a box, and not to be seen. And while the groom spent the wedding day feeling like James Bond in a tux or made to measure suit, now we can do something a little bit different so that he is James Bond.

What I Love about trash the dress shoots, it gives you the chance to show off your wedding dress in a Location that can be somewhere Very Different to Reception Venue. We also get the Benefit of the Shoot being as long as it needs to be, rather than trying to fit everything in on your Wedding Day.
