Trash the Dress/Day After Sessions
Trash the Dress is a new trend in wedding photo sessions generally done after the big wedding day. What is great about a Trash the Dress photo session is that you can shoot the photographs anywhere you want because you won’t have to worry about keeping the dress spotlessly clean for your ceremony and reception.
The best part of these sessions is that it gives brides the freedom to choose new places and creative options to take photographs without worrying what will happen to the dress. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun without the stress and excitement of your wedding day schedule of events.
Trash the Dress Sessions include a preliminary meeting so we can find out exactly what type of images you are wanting from your session and plan the locations and shots. This is your time to get creative! Trash the Dress Sessions almost always include special lighting in additional to natural light to capture the perfect images. The sky is the limit and we’re here to making your ideas a reality!
Do I have to ruin my dress during my session? Not at all! Many people opt for sessions that run the risk of getting the dress a little mussed around the edges but nothing actually damaging to the dress. Or if you like the idea of a really messy session but don’t want to ruin your dress you can always purchase a second dress cheaply at a thrift store, Craigslist, or on clearance that you can mess up for your photos without worrying about damaging the beautiful gown you were married in.
Nashville and the surrounding areas have incredible areas to do a Trash the Dress shoot from walking the streets of downtown Nashville to running through Centennial Park, jumping in the Harpeth River in downtown Franklin, or walking through fields in Leipers Fork.
