07.05.08 : Trash the Dress
I've been flat out in the last few month with wedding work that I've had little chance to add anything else. Well it's pretty much Winter now, so I'll have less wedding work to do, and more of a break to catch up on other things. A welcome break indeed.
Last week, in the freezing cold of a Melbourne city night, I got a chance to do my first Trash The Dress shoot. For those who have never heard of it, it's a new trend in wedding photography where the bride literally trashes her dress to signify a wonderful start to a married life. Usually it's at the beach or lake, or thrashing around in the mud getting the dress dirty. It's a lovely and cringe-worthy contrast to the beauty of a clean wedding dress. And that makes for awesome photography!
We decided to take it a step further though, and literally cut up the dress with a splash of paint for colour, all in an urban laneway! Nadia and Anthony, a couple I had photographed their wedding a number of months ago were the eager models (OK, maybe only Nadia)
The night started off with formal photography at parliament house and soon enough things turned around quickly with paint and scissors. It was fun and was great to let loose our creative energy to produce a set of photos that Nadia and Anthony will keep forever - I'd like to see their faces when they go through these photos in 20 years time! And Nadia, congrats on the pregnancy!
