Trash the Dress

We chose a great day to go and 'trash the dress' out in the New Forest and Ro looked great too. I wanted to get some shots in amongst the dappled shade of the trees but also to get some shots in water and fortunately I knew of a little place that had both locations within a couple of miles of each other. The location was also close to the one that I had used for the shoot with Rachael earlier in the year.

This really had a Maid Marion feel about it and was shot with natural light, although there was not a lot of it so it was shot on a tripod to avoid shake and blur.

I love shooting against walls and this one was particularly interesting with its speckly pattern and the dark red bricks. Ro's pose is great in this.

A lovely happy shot in the water and yes, the dress did get a little bit wet in the end! It survived though and only came back with a small mud stain on the train.

This photo was Ro's favourite from the shoot and apparently her dad loved it too. This is a very calm shot that pleases the bride, groom and family. If you have recently got married and would like to dig your dress out for a very special shoot of your own, contact me. Don't forget, you don't have to 'trash' your dress (unless you want to) as this type of shoot is about having fun with your wedding dress and obtaining some amazing pictures.
