What's a Trash the Dress You Say?

So since posting my blog entry about free sessions I've gotten a bunch of "what's a Trash the Dress"....so here goes (I got this explanation from a stylist blog online): Amid the posy photos and puffed-up bios that comprise the wedding announcement section of Sunday Times Style Section, there was a fascinating article on the rising trend of so-called Trash the Dress wedding photography.Trash the Dress, you say? It's exactly what it sounds like -- following the blessed event, the bride straps on that gorgeous dress once again for a final farewell photo to the gown she spent a fortune to wear for one day only. Only instead of posing in some predictably idyllic setting, the picture is shot in a scroungy back alley or a mossy lake......

Now we don't have to necessarily destroy it, and it doesn't even have to be a wedding dress, lets do some "hip" or "edgy" or even "glamorous". Or how about some male volunteers...any takers? think "Hollister" or "Abercombe" ads.....might be a good time to re post this, take a look at my first solo trash the dress which is also one of my all time favorite slide shows; the beautiful Charisma in Ontario Canada: any volunteers?? ****please shut of my playlist music on the right before starting the slide show, slide show may take a minute to load***
