Frequently asked questions
you asked, we’ve answered!
What is a "Trash the Dress" Photoshoot?
A “trash the dress” photoshoot is a post-wedding session where brides (and sometimes grooms) step out of the traditional wedding photo mold. These sessions invite couples to embrace fun, spontaneity, and a touch of adventure—whether that means splashing in lakes, rolling through grassy fields, or exploring rustic and urban backdrops—while wearing their wedding attire. Unlike conventional wedding photos, these sessions capture raw, candid moments full of laughter, joy, and personality.
Why Texas is the Perfect Location for a "Trash the Dress" Photoshoot
From the rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country to the serene waters of White Rock Lake, Dallas’s vibrant parks, and the striking murals in Deep Ellum, Texas offers a wide range of stunning backdrops for this playful and artistic style of photography. Whether you prefer a natural, outdoor setting or an urban, edgy vibe, the Lone Star State has the perfect canvas for your post-wedding adventure. Golden sunsets, wildflower fields, rivers, and lakes all create images that are as dynamic as your love story.
Why Choose a "Trash the Dress" Photoshoot?
-
Breaking the Mold: Traditional wedding photos are timeless, but Trash the Dress adds a modern, creative twist to your wedding album.
-
Celebrating Freedom: After months of meticulous planning, this photoshoot allows couples to let loose and celebrate love in a carefree, playful way.
-
Unique Memories: The resulting images are often candid and spontaneous, capturing genuine emotions that tell your personal story.
What Makes Trash the Dress Unique?
While traditional wedding photography highlights elegance, formality, and structured moments, Trash the Dress sessions focus on adventure, creativity, and authentic expression. It’s about celebrating love in an unrestrained environment and creating images that truly stand out.
Will the Dress Actually Be "Trashed"?
Not necessarily. The name is symbolic. While your dress may get wet, a little dirty, or slightly worn, it doesn’t mean it’s ruined. Many dresses are easily cleaned and preserved after the shoot, leaving memories intact and the gown ready for safekeeping.
Why Brides and Grooms Love Trash the Dress
Trash the Dress sessions give couples the chance to relive the excitement of their wedding day in a relaxed, joyful, and playful environment. It’s a chance to create extraordinary memories and capture images that stand apart from traditional wedding albums.
