My "Trash the dress" is this Sunday!
I mentioned this in my confession - about how excited I am!
That's news only because I said I'd never do one the whole time I was engaged, and never considered it after the wedding (you know what they say about saying "never"...lol)...and then...all of a sudden, I was giving it another look, and decided it wouldn't be the worse thing in the world to don the dress again and take some really great, artistic shots (I'm not going to really "trash" mine...I couldn't bear to even think about destroying my gown)...it helps that the photog I'm using is awesome and well known for really creative TTD shoots...
Sooo...what about it ladies? Have any of you done it? Thought about it? Plan to??? Think it's crazy (lol)?

Re: My "Trash the dress" is this Sunday!
Yay!! I so want to do this...just to get back in my dress and get some more AWESOME pictures.
Since our wedding day was rainy our photographer wanted to get together again to do it. With our busy schedules this summer it won't happen. So I was thinking about doing it for our first anniversary! I guess I better contact my photog to get a date before she books up!
Can't wait to see your pics!

There is a girl on my local board that is doing a TTD session with her DH for their 1 year and they are going all out for it. It seems like it would be something really fun to do! I would LOVE to wear my dress again!

awesome!!!
i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to do a TTD session next year/summer... our photographers sucked... well i think they did and would love my "dream photographer" to do a session at the same location most likely w/ DH.... maybe not in a tux but at least a black suit. i keep dropping hints that it would be the "most wonderful first anniversary gift" as he knows i am not anywhere happy with my photos!!!
good luck and puh-lease share with us asap!!!!!!
ps don't be afraid to get funky and bring some crazy high heels or your dog or some fun props - enjoy yourself - and dry cleaners are around to get the sand/dirt/grass stains etc out of your dress!!!

Festive gal: why on earth would someone make that type of stipulation? That seems nuts...I agree with you - under those circumstances, I wouldn't have done one either!
My photographer does whatever type shoot the bride wants; if a bride wants to really trash the dress (get dirty, get in water, etc), then she's ok with that...but if a bride only wants to take some great artistic photos, just without the worry of "what if a spec of dirt gets on my dress" type worries (which would be me!!), then she does those as well.
We are photographing in a beautiful state park near my home in MD that has covered bridges, stone arched bridges, old fashioned suspension bridges (yes, a lot of bridges!), as well as cascading water falls and pretty green locations. I am prepared for my dress to get a little dirty under the bottom (which it already did at the wedding), but nothing that a cleaner can't get out. I hope you'll reconsider, just with a new photographer :-) BTW, I don't know what the price range is in your area, but mine is going to run $250 for a 2 hour session (not including travel time)...so, not cheap, but not too bad either!
Yeah my dress is dirty on the bottom too. It was too long anyhow!
I don't know if this photographer was doing a test run of something that involved water; not sure. I'd love to do a TTD at Hart Plaza downtown Detroit along the waterfront where I originally wanted to go for my wedding pictures (we did them inside the DIA since it was cold and windy that day), but I just don't have the extra funds with a new house and now a new vehicle too!
Getting used to a car payment again...
