What would a trash the dress session be if it was not glamorous, was not pretty, but instead told a story? That was the question at hand for this photoshoot with Nicci Nelson and her husband. The result earned eighth place overall in the International Trash the Dress Contest of the WPJA.

Big thanks to Nicci and her husband for having the guts to go along with it. Any of you other recent brides want to do something extreme and out of the ordinary with your dress? Just let me know! I have plenty of ideas….

Just felt like sharing a few portraits from a recent Trash the Dress session. Whether you call it Trash the Dress or Mess the Dress, it seems there is no real definition out there for it. Most all involve portraits of a bride in her wedding dress doing something she would not have done before her wedding day. So I think this shoot applies.

Bride + Cornfield = Very Challenging

Big thanks to Sarah for being a real trooper and walking through a corn field with bare arms. I think it was worth it.
