My trash the dress photo shoot *Flashes Galore*

eeyoring, 5 August, 2012 at 13:22 Posted on Planning 0 24

I had always wanted to do a trash the dress shoot. We got our chance after my make up artist said she had just set up a studio with a photographer and they'd do us a deal. We went to our local beautiful park - Bradgate Park in Leicester. It was a day with sun and scattered showers and we new the water was going to be cold. But we took the plunge quite literally and were willing to give everything a try!

Here are the results. I hope you like them and they inspire you to give it a go. And by the way - it didn't actually trash my dress. It was muddy and covered in river debris and had e few grass stains on the hem where my husband stood on it but nothing that cleaning cant fix!

    Wow! You really went in that water! Really good.

    I'm planning on having one I think but on my own (maybe with friends). No way I'd get my H all trussed up again for one! I want mine on the beach in my hometown.

    ETA: More of a rock the frock than trash the dress though - I'm not as brave as you to go in North Sea!

    Originally I thought it would be just me but then it turned out my husband was really up for it. He's not very comfortable in front of the camera but was really game for trying stuff. Getting him ready was easy for us as he'd bought his outfit instead of hiring it and all washing machine cleaning for him so easy.

    We'd love to have done some beach shots but we live a long way from the sea! Also wanted to do some more urban / industrial locations but didnt have time to do both and once I was wet there was no getting dry again that day!

    Maybe we'll do some more down the line with an urban setting. Im kinda hooked!

    Honestly it isnt trashed at all. Just needs cleaning - but it needed that anyway after the wedding day.

    I LOVE the one of you waist deep in the water, kissing. It is beautiful.

    Since my dress is already 2nd hand, I think I might go for something like this too.

    Not sure I'm willing to get that cold again!
