In the last few years, a popular notion of ‘trashing your wedding dress’ has evolved. It caught on, spreading rapidly after a creative photographer named John Michael Cooper set a bride’s dress on fire. It was an amazing image & while it sparked a lot of controversy, almost everyone with a camera was jumping on the notion of ‘trashing someone’s wedding dress’. Quickly this became the hot new thing in the photography world. When I get a call from someone asking what I think about trashing their wedding dress- I reply that we can celebrate the dress & create some amazing images. I want to be realistic & some girls aren’t comfortable with the idea of completely destroying their dress. I take the lead from my client but of course, we can get down & as dirty as you want!!
Ashley & Matt were married last year in Omaha & they didn’t get a chance to take many fun photos in their wedding attire!! Ashley wanted a special way to celebrate their one year anniversary. I suggested we celebrate with a fun PlayShoot & I promised Ashley there was no need to ‘ruin’ her dress but we would have the freedom to play around without the concerns that come on wedding day!
Just as we received a nice cool down in the weather, we planned our shoot. The evening was lovely, a cool breeze, a lovely sunset- gorgeous light beaming through the clouds… It was the perfect backdrop for this fun session! I enjoyed playing with this fun loving couple & their hyper pup, Jet. We had a few funny moments when Jet almost knocked over the camera girl… since I have a toddler- I was prepared 🙂
