Trash the Dress

I don't feel like I really need to write anything. These pictures are AMAZING and speak for themself.

Whitney Keeler, the photographer of Imagine Three http://www.imaginethree.com/ , did a Trash the Dress session here in Michigan. First of all, I think the idea of Trash the Dress or Rock the Frock is amazing. The sight of an expensive, elegant, and romantic article of clothing contrasted with a rough, dirty, a-typical setting is the new age of photography at its finest. Someday I will hire Whitney to photograph me trashing my wedding dress and rocking my frock :)

Some common locations for Trash the Dress shootings are beaches, as shown above, rooftops, city streets, junk yards, fields, and abandoned buildings just to name a few.

I also have to give a shout out to Julie Hill, hairstylist of Imagine Three. She created the Bliss Book along with Whitney and their other sister Hannah. Julie is responsible for the amazing hair in the pictures above, and also for the upkeep of yours truly :)

Do you know anyone who has done a Trash the Dress shoot? Either as the bride or photographer? I'd love to see pics, talk location, and hear funny antecdotes.

I took part in a Trash the Dress a few weeks ago with about 30 other wedding professionals at a conference in Turks in Caicos. We of course did the beach shots, a few jumped off the pier, but we also got to jump in the pools, run into some fountains, and slide down the water slide. It was SO much fun. I would definitely recommend people do a Trash the Dress if they can.

It would be so fun to do with a group of friends or I've even seen husband and wife doing a shoot together - I hope one day I have the opportunity to trash my dress :) Thanks for sharing your experience, I love it!
