Trash the dress or Rock the dress ideas

Hi all! I am starting the process of brainstorming some locations for this photo shoot and was wondering if you had any suggestions? Thanks!

Re: Trash the dress or Rock the dress ideas

  • Down Town Phoenix-there are tons of warehouse/run down/ train track type stuff if you are going for gritty

    If you want fun, Maybe down town mesa, I love the mesa art center, its pretty cool

    Doing stuff on and around the light rail at night could look cool!  

     

  • I did mine with a group of girlfriends downtown.  We started at Heritage Square and took photos there, by the Science Center, in the parking garage, on the streets and finished up at this railroad crossing just south of downtown. 

    It was amazing and our photos are insanely awesome.

  • Those are great ideas, thanks! My photographer had suggested the Mesa arts center also. I love downtown, especially now.  Not sure what look I am going for either urban, outdoors, or both. I would love to get a woodsie kind of a look as well.

    One word of wisdom on Mesa Arts Center - we had our engagement pictures done there.  It's a really neat place, with lots of cool things to photograph on/with.  Just make sure you get approval with Mesa Arts before you go or they can kick you off the property :)  We saw more than one group also taking photos that day that had problems with the guards.

  • Can someone explain the concept of the Trash the Dress or Rock the Dress? i have never heard of something like this,

    Is was originally called Trash the Dress because you wore your wedding gown out doing something "messy" for a photo shoot.  Many times they were trashed...ie jumping in bodies of water, playing with mud, rolling in the grass...etc. 

    Not a lot of people want to ruin their gown though, but would love to wear it again, so they call it Rock the Dress.  The point is just to take some fun, original pictures in your gown.  

  • Awesome, Thanks.  I think i would rather rock my dress instead of ruin it.  But having it preserved and then saving it forever doesn't seem that pratical either lol.

  • I am doing 2 sessions, the first one was here in downtown Phoenix.  We took photos at the Herberger Theater, Civic Center, a couple parks in downtown and a couple churches.  The pics were just a couple weeks ago so I am waiting for photos to come back.  The 2nd session we will do in the fall in Sedona.

  • I know you guys don't have a beach real close, but I did mine at the ocean in Avondale, NJ.  It was so much fun!!  I did go in the water some, but my dress is def. not ruined.  Just thought it may give you some ideas if you wanted to head to a lake or something.  Here are some shots from the photog's site:  http://krishamartzall.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/story-the-dress-heathermark-avalon-nj

    Those are great! Thank you for sharing those. I would love to do some water shots and was thinking that Sedona would be a great location for this, but I am just not sure where in Sedona. I would think some where along Oak Creek.

    Sedona and Oak Creek are pretty much the same area.  We want to do it in Oak Creek Canyon and a little in the Sedona city limits.  Here is one of my favorite blogs with trash the dress sessions: http://www.fancyfinphotography.com/blog/category/trash-the-dress/
