Trash the Dress (Part 1)

One thing that has become very popular with brides who want to do something a little unconventional with their wedding gown is trash the dress sessions. Instead of having their dress preserved or stuck in the back of a closet, putting the dress on after the wedding day seems to be a choice brides are making and having fun in the process.

Linda Long, a fellow photographer and good friend, is home for the week and we decided to organize a trash the dress session. It wasn't hard at all for me to find willing volunteers - Julie and Allison were excited to help us out and take part in the session yesterday.

We started out at Dr. Campbell's farm in Blue Ridge. He has a beautiful place and we greatly appreciate him allowing us to shot the girls there.

We started with Julie first... I love the swing!
Then it was Alli's turn!
Alli looked great dancing around in the barn with her dress on!
After the farm, we headed up to Red Turner where the girls wanted to take their four wheelers and ride. I was a site to see two girls in wedding gowns riding in the red mud!

Alli decided she needed a flower!
I was afraid there would not be any water with the lack of rain we've had, but that wasn't the case!
Julie and Alli were a little hot in those dresses so we thought it would be a good idea to help them cool off some!We appreciate everyone who helped us out for this session. We had a great time and Julie and Allison were GREAT! They were willing to do ANYTHING we asked them to do!

And yes, Marty was there to shoot with us too so I have to post some of his shots too!He really pays attention to detail!
