Trash the Dress

Trash the dress photo shoots are a controversial and growing trend in wedding photography. Trashing the dress involves essentially destroying the wedding dress to get artistic and unique photos and some object to the wasteful nature of the trend. However, what you choose to do with your wedding dress after "I do" is completely up to you!

Shot in the style of fashion photography, the trash the dress pictures often puts the bride in a setting where formal wear seems out of place. Trash the dress sessions allow for complete creativity on the part of the photographer as well as the subject. Going way beyond standard and stuffy bridal portraiture, the images are artful, beautiful and can really capture the spirit of the bride! Whether you're for it or against it, we can all agree that Trash the Dress shoots often produce unforgettable pictures. 

Del Sol Photography based out of Riviera Maya, Mexico has elevated the trend to an art form. Their under water photographs are some of the most striking trash the dress images around.
