Everybody's been writing in to find out what the heck we mean when we saw we're giving away complimentary "trash the dress" sessions to couples that book 6 hour or more packages in this month of love, February.
Now here is a website that will show you exactly what we mean! Navigate to

or

and you'll find many images and much discussion about these sessions. Trashing the dress doesn't mean ripping it intentionally, just not worrying about getting it dirty, and for that matter, not worrying about if it rips accidentally. Totally fun, and a great way to spend a day!
Brides don't really even have to use their wedding gowns for this--they can rustle up a cheap dress on eBay for something like $100 US. Made overseas, the dress will be shipped right to your house. Or you can do what a couple of my clients opted for right after their weddings, Vera Wang dresses be damned--run around the PNE Playland grounds playing pool, eating burgers, visiting cows, and riding in bumpercars. One of the pictures shows Kimberly holding up the bottom of her dress as if having second thoughts at seeing all the oil that had gotten on it, but she told me later that it came perfectly clean.
The truth is, I've been trying to convince all my brides to do "trash the dress" sessions ever since I started shooting weddings! They are just too much fun to be resisted, and the images they produce are awesome. I am really hoping someone will want to go underwater for some shots this summer, because I've got two underwater cameras just itching to catch a bride swimming.
