Trash It! Trash the Dress Shoot!

For years I have tried to convince several of my brides to do a next day trash the dress shoot. I have had a few who have offered, but with crazy schedules and the new life of being married, it's just never followed through...until Linsey.

First, I was able to photograph her entire wedding weekend: a semi destination wedding in Jekyll Beach, Georgia. My husband, son, and mom took a road trip down to Georgia for an extended trip! I have to say that this was one of the most amazing weekends ever.

Not only is Linsey completely and utterly gorgeous, but she's like me...she LOVES anything dramatic. From their engagement photos, to her final trash the dress shoot, noting has been safe. Of course, she won me over when during the seating of the guests at her ceremony her musicians played a little lullaby that happens to be one of my favoritest things right now. (I wont embarrass myself by posting it here, you'll just have to go to my facebook page and stalk!).

Anyway! The trash the dress shoot. Really, what are you doing to do with that dress anyway? Most likely, your daughter will never wear it, it's going to sit in a box and take up space for all eternity until it ends up in a thrift store that a photographer like myself will walk into and buy it to tear it up and use it for spare parts. Sure, the dress is a tradition, it's a heirloom, and it cost a fortune...but why not wear it again and do something FUN with it!?

Linsey did.

More to come on Linsey and Mike's wedding!
