Trash the Dress!

Trash the Dress is a phenomenon which began in America (where else?) but is now becoming popular over here.
A bride will spend a great deal of money on her wedding dress, only to wear it for perhaps twelve hours. Then it will probably be dry cleaned and packed away to rarely see the light of day again. So why not have another day of fun with it?
Although the original idea was to literally 'trash the dress' by paintballing in it, or rolling around in mud, I decided to adapt it slightly by turning it into more of a fashion-style shoot.
For this session, we headed to Felixstowe to use some of the locations around the Ferry and Old Felixstowe beach. Greer went for punky hair and make up and accessorised with chunky boots, stripy socks and gothic jewellery. She looked great and we had good fun.
Here are a few of the shots from the day.
Of course if you'd rather paintball or roll around in the mud, then I am happy to capture that too!
Please get in touch if you fancy doing this after your wedding - or even buying a frock off ebay and doing it anyway!
