Trash The Dress Photo Shoots
A growing trend among hip newly-weds is to have a ‘trash the dress ‘ photo shoot after their wedding. These type of shoots generally place the bride and bridegroom in environments which contrast their beauty and sophistication of their bridal attire with a unclean or deserted setting.
Everyday locations include beaches, empty buildings, rubbish dumps and caves. This regularly results in the eradication of the wedding dress, which is the way the shoots got their name.
The shoots are also known by the choice names ‘rock the frock ‘ or ‘fearless bridal’. The photos have a tendency to be shot in the type of a fashion or glamour shoot and can produce some actually breathtaking photographs.
For photographers who are sufficiently lucky to come across a bride who is ready and able to wade into waist high water or to creep over a mess of garbage in her wedding dress, a trash the dress photography shoot can make a fabulous addition to their portfolio. There are however a considerable number of things to think about before accepting such a shoot from a client. There are private safety issues to consider. It is typically simple to get caught up in the moment during this type of shoot and if you’re dealing with a potentially deadly environment such as a cave or scrapyard then this can end in disaster. It is important to sanction limits with your client before beginning and to scout the location before the shoot.
From a client’s point of view, the trash the dress shoot might appear like a lovely prank, but when the time comes there is always the possibility that the bride will have a change of heart and not need any harm to come to her dress. It is often good for the wedding photographerto have an alternative plan for some tamer photos which can sometimes be set up in the same location without risking any damage to the dress.
