What the heck is “Trash The Dress” you say? “It’s about creation, not destruction”. -trashthedress.com. TTD is a new thing that’s hitting the wedding industry! After you get married (or before for some brides) you get back into your dress and go out either by yourself, or with your husband, and have a nice long, portrait session. You jump in the ocean, roll around in the sand, pose in some urban-esque locations and just have fun. You come out with some amazing imagery that you would never be able to accomplish on your actual wedding day. TTD creates some totally original and unique art. Most dresses can be sent to the dry cleaner or even, flipped inside out and tossing in the washing machine twice on the gentle cycle! (Both Samantha & Ali put their gowns in the washing machine and they came out fine!! They went out and got new dresses to wear for their TTDs)

Note to my 2005, 2006 & 2007 brides: If you are interested in a TTD session with me, you will receive 50% off the session fee. ($55 dollar value)

If you are interested in more information about TTD, you can contact me, or visit the official site: trashthedress.com Photographers from all over the world contribute to this blog-style website!

So here’s Samantha, who made quite a long trip to come and see me! We lucked out with a really great find in the back of the alley, and got an awesome full moon. I’ve wanted to blog about this for sooooo long!

This moon is 100% natural. This IS NOT Photoshop!!!
