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!

After a fabulous holiday in Grenada, it's now back to work!

The children are now back at school, and the weather is quite autumnal (you might say it has been for quite a while!)

Don't despair though! Autumn provides a great backdrop for lifestyle photography. Golden leaves in the woods, crisp bright days on the beach and colourful coats, hats and scarves on a grey day make for captivating images.

If you'd rather stay indoors though, I can bring a studio set up to you or use your own home as the set.

For bookings made during September and October I am offering a half price sitting fee, so that's £35 for a lifestyle shoot, and just £20 for an 'at home' session! Please do not hesitate to contact me - the details are on my website: www.sarathomas.co.uk

And finally, all commissions to Grenada are gratefully accepted ;-p
