| Trash The Dress.. |
|
A new wave of wedding photography is washing through South Africa. Trash The Dress AKA DrownTheGown started in US with brides wanting something different from their wedding shoots. The idea is not to have one last shoot with your wedding dress and then throw it away; it is much deeper than that. Some brides even believe it shows commitment to their partners, signifying "I will never need this dress again, I have found my life partner", while others do it just for fun. It usually involves water, a bride and a wedding dress but it can actually be done anywhere. (For the South African context that would be anywhere the bride and photographer is safe.) It’s a really fresh way of looking at wedding photography, and as an added bonus you get to wear your dress another time. Honestly I have not done one of these yet but I am very excited to do my first Trash The Dress Shoot. Here are some cool links I found on the subject: |
