Trash the Dress Philadelphia, Pa

Philadelphia Wedding Photographers: Trash the Dress Philadelphia, Pa

Chris & Carm, Philadelphia, Pa

They may not be tattooed but these photos look hot. These photos only get hotter. See them in their original context at Trash the Dress.

Here are some Trash the Dress tips from Wedding Bee
  • The term "trash" may be misleading, as many dresses only get wet or dirty. A professional cleaning service should restore the dress to brand-new quality, enabling the wearer to then preserve and/or keep the dress, or to donate it to charity.
  • Bring your improv skills! You need to kiss on command and create laughter even if something hilarious didn't happen right at that moment. Don't be afraid to dip, dance, jump in the water, etc. for THAT pic.
  • Talk to your photographer and let him/her select the location! He/she is the professional and may have great ideas that will be aesthetically dramatic and interesting.
  • Brides that have done a day after shoot can attest to how much more relaxed the bride and groom feel--grooms that may have been a little uptight for formals appreciate this laid-back photo shoot.
  • Rather than trashing your own wedding dress, consider buying a cheap dress off the rack and trashing that instead. For your husband, you might consider him wearing some less formal clothes of his own. Or, he may just need to plan to rent his suit/tux long enough through the day after your wedding.
  • A photographer looking for "best light" will likely suggest late afternoon for a start time--about four or five PM.
  • Some brides go without bouquets.
  • Most brides just do their own hair and make-up. That is a judgment call. ;-)
  • Make sure your clothes are ironed and ready to go.
  • Check with your photographer, but you can probably get away with wearing comfortable shoes if your wedding day shoes were not. Wear all your wedding day jewelry, too. You may end up with some great new detail shots.
