Nikki at the Gundry House

About a month ago I had a great opportunity to shoot Nikki in her gorgeous gown at the Gundry House in Mineral Point, WI.  This is going to be my new favorite way to shoot- to find an amazing location each time!  Just check this place out, how beautiful is it?!

Trash The Dress has a WIKI!

I thought it was really cool to find that my favorite new trend is officially recognized on Wiki…

Now here’s a couple with the right spirit!

I just stumbled across a great blog created by a group of four fabulous photographers in…Canada, I think?

Anyway, this group of photog friends sure look like they have a blast, and this post I’ve linked below proves that their clients know how to live it up, too!  This ENTIRE wedding party participated in a day of dress and tux trashing, watersport-style.  And wow, the results are phenomenal!

My props to the fearless couple and the ROCKTOGRAPHERS, I absolutely love your work!

TTD and Brides Against Breast Cancer

I found a GREAT post on www.trashthedress.wordpress.com (the old blog- they have since moved to a new website) about how a bride can trash her dress and STILL do good.

A rather common argument against trashing your wedding dress is this: “why wouldn’t you donate your dress to benefit someone less fortunate than you, instead of destroying it for a selfish purpose?” Well, the answer is in this article. According to the writer who spoke with the national director and co-founder of “Brides Against Breast Cancer,” many of the dresses donated to the organization come in dirty. Food, wine, and other kinds of stains are removed by the organization and 90% of the dresses show no signs of having been used!

From now on, my recommendation to the brides who trash their gowns with me will be to donate their gowns to this organization after the shoot.

So there- you can have your TTD session and still do something good with the dress afterwards. :)

I found this really fun video of a Trash The Dress shoot. Thought I’d share- it shows pretty much what a typical shoot should be like!
