30th January 2009.Locations: Woodlands of Marburg and Cedar Creek Falls. Emma and Adrian were more than happy to do anything for Trash the Dress. We had great fun and captured some amazing images at both locations. What I love about the TTD sessions is that we have all the time in the world with no pressure.I recommend it to all brides that like to do something a little different and have a ball doing it.

Debbie’s Gold Coast TTD shoot April 15, 2009
Contributed by Vincent Swift.
Debbie has wanted to do a TTD shoot for ages, we have tried to do it a few
times but keep getting hit with bad weather or sickness.
When we did get around to doing the shoot it was no different, Debbie
wasn’t feeling her best, then she was caught in road works and was late to
the shoot, it was 4.30pm and light was going fast when we finally started
shooting, and then it started to rain, but like true professionals we shot
anyway.
I was amazed at the results, the video and stills came out really well.
Beach Trashing October 9, 2008
Contributed by Adam Cavanagh
We did Nick & Evelyn’s wedding a few weeks ago and now it was time for the Trash the Dress shoot. For this TTD we were going to get the dress a bit wet and dirty, and try to be more creative we could normally be on a wedding day.
It was a gorgeous winters day for the shoot… but there was a cool wind on the beach, so we only got wet towards the end of the shoot. But we got some cool images with the waves crashing into the rocks… beautiful and romantic.
Trash The Dress Photoshoot October 8, 2008
Contributed by Michael Materazzi
I have three shots from a recent Trash The Dress Photoshoot. The day was rainy, gray, and offered little light. We used some 1200W spots, which were not nearly enough but as I don’t have a lot of equipment, I made due. This particular shoot was the concept of the filmographer. I was basically assigned to get what I could while not interfering with his film positioning, lighting, etc. However, I was allowed to set up the shot of the subject being doused with paint.
I used a Nikon D50 with wide angle lens. I was forced to use an ISO setting of 800, which as you know, is not ideal on a D50. Grain is apparent at over 100% viewing. Still, the shots are unique, especially the two with paint, and might offer a different perspective of Trashing the Dress. We took that concept literally.
The day was fun in spite of the bad conditions and many of those who have seen my work are inquiring about how they can do a similar shoot.

Trash the dress with C & J September 30, 2008
Contributed by Casandra Anguita Deep
This TTD was held in a secret location with just C and J. The idea is to
trash a wedding dress or just do things that you just wouldn¹t normally do
in a wedding dress. It was an amazing day and even though it was quite cold,
we had the best time running around like crazy in the wind. C and J were up
for anything and enjoyed themselves hugely.
TTD in the Blue Mountains May 29, 2008
Contributed by Rebecca Olsen
This TTD session was shot in the Lower Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. After several weeks of cancelling due to bad weather, we were finally blessed with a gorgeous autumn day. The water was close to freezing, but Jenna put on a brave face and let me capture some amazing images.

Underwater TTD May 27, 2008
Contibuted by Tim Boehm
After two hours taking the usual (and some not so usual) bridal photos of Alicia at Blackalls Park, see exhibit A & B – I asked if she was interested in going for a swim at the local heated swimming pool. To my surprise she said yes.
TTD in ACT May 25, 2008
Contributed by Steven Murray
We were very lucky to have an amazing model (Nina) who helped make the day a fantastic experience for the four photographers who dragged her around old rail yards and the run down brick works.
It was interesting to see the way in which each person interpreted a possible shot and how they made use of the various backgrounds and poses.
The shoot went all day and these are only a fraction of what I took.
Trash the dress – Mustang style May 14, 2008
Contributed by Mira
These guys love Mustangs and it was only fitting to grab one for a trash the dress session. Dejana and Robert were really keen on the idea of a TTD session so off we went out to the back farms of Sydney. We had a plot to the story on the day and we went for it. No time limits and no constraints and we didn’t hold back! These guys were brilliant and up for a challenge.
These images were from one of the locations on the day.
Gold Coast Spit TTD May 12, 2008
Contributed by Vincent Swift
On Sunday afternoon I went down to the Gold Coast to do another “Trash The
Dress” shoot. I have photographed Nicolas family previously, and when she
came to my studio for her family portrait viewing she saw my “Trash the
dress” print on the wall. When i explained what it was she was very keen
to do a shoot as well.
Nicola has been married a while but it was a great excuse to wear the
wedding dress again, I think a lot of brides never expect to wear there
dress again, so when you can present a opportunity too, they jump at it.
Having such a very different concept of what sort of images I want to
create, people really embrace at the opportunity of doing something a
little different and a bit outside the square.
This was a little different as we had some of the bridal party to trash
too, the shoot was done on the north side of the gold coast spit where the
water is calm and there are very few waves. This gave me the opportunity
to do something different from my other shoots.
Greg Norris came along to second shoot for me and got some fantastic
images of the kids together, also he was a great to have help in trying to
perfect my overhead shots. (Still working on them, but getting there).
Thanks to Nicola & Justin for being so much fun to shoot.
