Well this was fun! I photographed Sarah’s wedding back in April and during the reception I overheard her talking with her friends about how it was a shame you only got to wear such a lovely dress for one day. I suggested a trash the dress photoshoot which first of all provoked looks of horror, but then I explained that when I’ve done it previously I’ve thought of it more as ‘cherish the dress.’ I’ve treated it more of a fashion shoot, accessorising and going to unusual locations rather than paintballing or pig farming in it! This was much more appealing as they had thought about having a night in with their dresses on. And so the seed was sown.

So on a beautiful late summer morning I met the four brides in the car park of The Boathouse at Dedham

First of all we headed into the meadows

Then the girls hired a boat from The Boathouse

They did of course attract some attention from passers by.

The girls then set off on what turned out to be rather a long walk, along the river to have lunch at Milsoms. I just found this really funny.

If you have any ideas for a trash the dress, or cherish the dress photo shoot, either on your own or with friends then I’d love to hear about them. Session cost £25, with prints, albums and DVDs available. Give me a call or drop me a line to book yours.
