Rejecting the Traditional/Embracing the New and Unusual - Trash The Dress

There's a lot of controversy surrounding the new and exciting trend of Trash The Dress (TTD) and I found this wonderful article on the WPJA's wedpix.com website and thought I'd share it with you here.

A TTD session does not have to mean sacrificing and destroying your dress! Instead the results from a creative portrait shoot with your partner can be stunning imagery of the two of you being relaxed in your wedding finnery in unusual locations other than on the wedding day (be it a couple of days after the wedding or a couple of weeks/months). It's another opportunity to be photographed together looking beautiful, happy and sexy and capturing the love that is there between you as a newly married couple.

For more examples of TTD sessions around the world, see here.

If you'd like more details or would like to discuss your Trash The Dress session, please contact me to discuss creative and fun ideas for your unique shoot.

It was a lovely suprise at the church to discover that Michael from Ibiayo Movies (ibiayodigitalmovies@hotmail.com) was Jessie and Micheal's videographer for the day. We had worked together at Amaechi and Ugo's xmas wedding in 2006 so I knew I was in for a fun and easy day working with the videographer. I look forward to working with you again in the future Micheal.

Bryan Keenan of Stretchlimos provided the transport for the day.
