Don’t put away the dress - add on a trash the dress photoshoot instead
10 Reasons you should book a trash the dress photoshoot
Booking a trash the dress photoshoot can be a fun and adventurous way to create unique and memorable images after your wedding. Here are some reasons why you should consider a trash the dress photoshoot:
1. Unconventional and Creative:
A trash the dress photoshoot allows you to step outside the traditional wedding photography and create bold and artistic images that capture your adventurous spirit.
This type of session is not as popular as the bridal portraits themselves, which means you can truly stand out with photos that are sure to grab some attention!
2. Extension of the Wedding Celebration:
The trash the dress photoshoot can be an extension of your wedding celebration, providing an opportunity to relive the excitement and joy of your special day.
The week or two after your wedding day feel like pure bliss. You absolutely cannot keep your eyes or hands off each other which is why it is the best time to push the boundaries more and celebrate/create together every chance you get.
3. Stress-Free Experience:
Unlike the wedding day, the trash the dress photoshoot is typically more relaxed and free from time constraints. It allows you to enjoy the moment without the pressures of a tight schedule.
It is literally my favorite type of session to do with couples because there is really no stress. The wedding day is over, we got tons of amazing photos of you two already and now it’s time to play, unwind and let our inner children out.
4. Unique Locations:
Trash the dress sessions often take place in unconventional and stunning locations, such as beaches, forests, or urban landscapes, providing a visually striking backdrop for your images.
I have even done a trash the dress session at a pool. But I have NOT done a trash the dress session at a waterfall and would LOVE to be considered!
5. Freedom to Express Yourself:
With the dress no longer needing to be preserved, you can be more daring and adventurous in your poses and movements, expressing your personality in a carefree way.
I have had a past client who adores her trash the dress photos of her so much that she has basically had them as her social profile pics all year. True story!
6. Emotional Release:
Some couples find the trash the dress photoshoot to be a symbolic way of moving on from the wedding and embracing a new chapter in their lives.
This is probably my favorite reason because I am a very sentimental person. I will be sure to capture not only the fun and carefree moments but the emotional tear jerker shots too. Let’s go!
7. Keepsake:
While the dress may get "trashed," the images from the photoshoot become a cherished keepsake, representing your unique love story and shared adventure.
I have never taken my wedding dress out of the closet in over four years. As much as we sometimes think we have to keep it and treasure it - chances are (very high) that you will keep and treasure your photos longer. Also, your dress can be saved with the help of a dry cleaning service. <3
8. Bonding Experience:
The trash the dress photoshoot can be a bonding experience for you and your partner, allowing you to create lasting memories together.
I cannot overstate this. Your honeymoon period is a time for bonding and your partner is going to be crazy about you and vice versa a little extra at this blissful carefree stage. This is a great time to remember!
9. Pre-Honeymoon Adventure:
If you're planning a delayed honeymoon or looking for an adventure before the honeymoon, the trash the dress photoshoot can be an exciting activity to consider.
I would also like to be taken (I can try to fit in your bag) to a honeymoon location under the veil of doing the trash the dress shoot. I mean we will def do that, but I am just saying - I’d love to shoot your Tulum trash the dress session and also lay out and drink margaritas afterwards.
10. Fun and Liberating:
Above all, a trash the dress photoshoot is about having fun and embracing the freedom to create memorable and unconventional images in your wedding attire.
Before scheduling a trash the dress photoshoot, ensure that you are comfortable with the idea and discuss your vision with your photographer (ME!). I literally get the most excited for these sessions ever. Please inquire with me here and I will be happy to give you a discounted price if we already have a wedding collection or if I have already shot a wedding for you!
