”Trash my dress? You’ve got to be kidding!!”        

Well, it’s not so much as destroying your dress as doing a 
High-Fashion photo shoot in the most unthinkable places where a 
wedding dress doesn’t seem to belong: Fountains, 
changing a tire, laying on the grass, playing tennis
or golf, working under the hood of a car (or under the car), 
on a motorcycle wearing leather boots, in a junkyard, in the ocean, 
on a surfboard, in an abandoned building, on horseback, etc.

Trash the Dress is a phenomenon sweeping the International wedding 
scene. Brides are wanting to have fun while getting unconventional 
fashion photos of their wedding dress. Some brides are choosing to 
do this because they want to get their money’s worth for the 
amount of time and money they spent on choosing the “perfect” dress 
or to appear as a “Fashion Model” in their wedding dress.

“Trash the Dress” isn’t for everybody but, if you’re wanting to do 
something a little crazy, this may be right up your “alley” (pun intended).

I know, you probably read that headline and are thinking, 

“What!!!???!!!” 

Trash the dress photo sessions are not for the faint of heart.
It’s a photo session done AFTER the wedding and honeymoon 
are over to symbolically show your husband that you will NEVER 
need your wedding dress again. The purpose of the photo shoot
is to get some very creative and different photos of you in your dress.
The perfect place for this type of photo shoot is at the beach. 
Yes…you will be rolling around in the sand and surf and your 
dress will be “trashed.” But, only temporarily. Most often,
the dress can be hung to dry and cleaned. If you are recently married
and would love to be one of the first to get a “
trash the dress” photo shoot by me, please email or call me ASAP.
To see what a “trash the dress” session is all about, 

you can check out www.trashthedress.com

As an alternative, you can also donate 
your dress to www.makingmemories.org and 
support Brides Against Breast Cancer.

This is going to be FUN!
