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!

Lifestyle Photography in Woodbridge

I was asked to shoot this great family on location in Woodbridge for relatives' Christmas presents. It was a beautiful afternoon with the sun low and strong which made for quite contrasty images with some lovely colours.

Boxing Day madness

At 11 am this Friday, I shall be hurling myself into the River Deben at Waldringfield, dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. I know that's not really normal behaviour, but it's the Boxing Day Dip and Nip in aid of CLIC Sargent, a charity which supports children and young people with cancer, and their families.

I have a fundraising page set up and I would be very grateful if you would consider making a donation.

Spectators are most welcome and I will post photos after the event.

Thanks folks and have a great Christmas!
