One of the advantages of doing bridal portraits after the wedding is that you don't have to worry about keeping your gorgeous white dress clean. Many photographers refer to this particular session as "Trash the Dress." To truly trash a wedding dress, however, it almost always involves some form of water and a lot of courage on the bride's part. After all, you spend a fortune on your dress and to just plunge into a pool while wearing it takes a cavalier attitude. So when Anna and I began discussing her bridal session, she was hesitant about mixing her gorgeous dress with water or anything that would ultimately render the dress useless thereafter. And who am I to argue with logic like that when I doubt I could summon the necessary lack of judgement to carelessly go swimming in my cumbersome, but expensive wedding gown??? So we decided on a mild 'Trash the Dress' which did not involve water. But it did involve standing on top of tables, lingering in a smelly alley, lounging on a sidewalk in a fresh sprinkling of leaves, hoisting oneself into an antique carriage and dancing in the middle of a busy street. Thanks for being such a great sport, Anna.
