trash the dress

My husband really wants me to do a "trash the dress" photo shoot, he wants to be involved in it but he thinks it would be great to go around Chicago, to all our favorite place and parks and take the pictures we couldn't take on our Wedding Day.  I am looking for photographers in the chicagoland area that would do this photo shoot i have heard so much about.  I know it is really common in other parts of the country but is it big here, does anyone know of anyone that does it?  I would like to plan it for our 1 year anniversary in March... help!  Thanks!!!

Re: trash the dress

  • I'm pretty sure that Dennis Lee does this and he is a great photographer.  I believe that most photographers will be willing to do this.  If you liked your wedding photographer, why don't you ask him or her if they could do the pictures for you?  GL
  • I trashed my dress and it was SO fun!  I would suggest asking your wedding photog if you liked them to do it, you already have a relationship with them.  Otherwise, many other photographers will do it.  I know there may be a big TTD shoot sometime with a group of photographers in the area.  But spring hasn't been planned yet and the group is always looking for models for it!

  • Our epics photographer offered to do TTD pics for me when I expressed an interest a while back. His name is Jay Crihfield. I'm not sure what his website is these days, but try googling him and see if he comes up. He's in the western suburbs.

    TTD is so cool, but I'd reconsider doing it in March, especially if you're doing crazy stuff like swimming in the lake or playing around in fountains and such. It's going to be really, really cold, even at the end of March. I wanted to do TTD on our one-year, but it's going to be so freaking cold! You're a braver woman than I! :)
