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 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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s been a bit quite around here lately. This is mainly due to the fact that we have been busy looking after our business, opening a new shop and shooting a few weddings overseas in the last 2 months.

We have received plenty of submissions so we will start to process and post them again ASAP.

Thanks,

Chris – TTD administrator

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.

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.

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.

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.
