So that wedding dress is just hanging out in the closet, eh? Well, strap it back on and let’s Trash The Dress! Robyn (of Corey and Robyn) is a Major in the Canadian Forces and jokingly mentioned doing a TTD on a military base. She said it, her husband loved it, I had the epiphany and there was no saying no from there. Nerves got the best of her a few times (as well as a few trips to Afghanistan) but we locked-and-loaded last week. I am pumped, she will freak out (in the good way). Enjoy.
Trash The Dress photo shoots have been huge south of the border for a while now and bride’s in the Great White North are getting curious about what a TTD really is. I think it started with destination weddings when brides would jump in the ocean and photographers were making beautiful images of the phenomenon. It has been adapted over a few years and does not necessarily mean that your dress will be destroyed. Since we don’t have endless bodies of warm salt water up here, I like to put my own spin on things. I think of them like the anti-engagement portrait. I keep my engagement session very casual, natural and lovey but my TTD’s are more editorial-fashion in nature and I take time to develop a killer concept and efficient execution. Also unlike my weddings and engagement portraits, I have done a lot of ”post production” work on this image to make it really dramatic. Dig it.

Digging!
