A model often wears a ball gown, prom dress or wedding dress, and may effectively ruin the dress in the process by getting it wet, dirty or in extreme circumstances tearing or destroying the garment.
It may also be done as an additional shoot after the wedding, almost as a declaration that the wedding is done and the dress will not be used again. It is seen as an alternative to storing the dress away, never to be seen again.
Trash the dress, fearless bridal, and rock the frock refers to photography that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is completely out of place. It is generally shot in the style of glossy beauty and glamour photography.
Usually brides decide to have pictures taken on the beach, but possibilities are endless. City streets, rooftops, garbage dumps, fields, and abandoned buildings are only few examples of trash the dress session locations.
Some sources claim that the trend was originally started in 2001 by Las Vegas wedding photographer John Michael Cooper. However, the idea of destroying a wedding dress has been used in Hollywood symbolically since at least October 1998 when Meg Cummings of the show Sunset Beach ran into the ocean in her wedding dress after her wedding was badly interrupted.
I began taking pictures at the age of eight. Later in life after becoming one of the Sarasota Wedding Photographers it became something that I use to express what God has placed in my heart. I use photography to bring people to see His beauty and extravagance and to help them to clearly see what true love is... commitment, emotion, mystery.
At our Tampa Wedding Photography studio we know that every bride has something that is dear to her and her wedding will be set apart from all of the others that have come before her. My heart is to capture distinctive style by using my “in the moment” approach of taking pictures. Anyone can pick up a camera but to fashion a piece of art takes much more than merely shooting. We don't sit on the side and watch the wedding take place. We become a part of it by getting on the inside to confine every detail of this special day. It's vital to us to capture the special moments; from the flowers to the dress, to the friends and ambience. Bringing out the emotions of the bride and groom for them to remember to look and feel of their wedding.
I am always trying to express the love of God in everything that I do, this is why I reach to provide the best quality possible in everything that I put my heart and hands to. Not being afraid to step out off the box of average into the world of unknown to give each bride something unique that she alone will have.
At our Tampa Wedding Photography studio we strive to keep our clients interested, intrigued, and anxious to see what will take place in the next picture. It is particularly important to me to make bride feel relaxed enough to naturally shine her genuine spirit and capturing that into the frame that she will cherish for years to come
