evanslaura, 21 May, 2009 at 17:21 Posted on Planning 0 23



Hello all,

Have just arrived back from honeymoon and thinking about semi-trashing my dress. Want some artistic suprise shots for my husband and its also an excuse to wear my dress again.

Can anyone recommend a photographer? I live in London, but also have family in South Wales so could travel. Also what is the average cost?

Have attached a pic from my wondeful day, just incase you want to have a nose xx

    Its an Ian Stuart dress, his dresses are amazing, although his latest range is about too outragous!! He has won wedding dress designer of the year a few times

    http://www.ianstuart-bride.com/

    I would recommend any girl out there who is still searching for that 'one' dress, to go to one of his designer days. The feather boa was included and although I never thought Id wear it, it was wrapped around my neck most of the night. It provided two separate looks. xx

    Wow - your dress is amazing! I love it! Was the thing around your neck a shawl type thing?

    Can't help with the "trash the dress" shoot, but congrats on your wedding!

    Stunning dress! I don't put myself forward often, but that dress is just too much to resist! I don't do actual dress trashing, but I do what I call 'Encore' sessions. Just what it sounds like, a photosession in the dress again, but in more of an artistic and unusual sort of location. I am in Bournemouth if you are up for it. I have done a few Hitchers, including one this next week. We are going to use different locations, including an Abbey Ruin. Recent Encore session on my blog is of Hitcher Monkey Mavis. I am doing another Hitcher in September, but I think that is a secret still, but it is going to be amazing! My email is ****@*******************.*** or you can contact me thru the contact form on the website www.murakamiphotography.com In the gallery are some other Encore images.

    Best Regards,

    Teri M

    Thank you to everyone that recommended me! That's so lovely of you all.

    Yes, I do trash the dress (Extreme Bridal) sessions, and I love doing them - it's almost fashion photography because, unlike doing wedding photography, it really IS all about the dress. And you have such an AMAZING dress!

    Take a look at my site, and if you like what you see, give me a shout - I'm based in Kent but cover all areas of the UK - London has some stunning locations, we can even do a 'beach' shot if you fancy it!
