Trash the dress.

I love the photos that come from trash the dress shoots - I may even do one myself someday. The combination of pristine and gritty or earthy backgrounds makes for great photos.
Check out this beautiful video from stillmotionblog.com of a trash the dress photo session.

Watch the video - you'll see.

It's not done until after you've worn the dress for it's intended purpose (wedding). At first it seemed horribly wasteful to me, but as I thought about it I realized that most women box up the dress and leave it in the basement for the next 25 years. That's just as wasteful... This way you get to have a fun photo shoot, and get some beautiful photos out of the deal.

Fascinating. I've never heard of this before. The video is cool; thanks for sharing.

Are you going to trash your dress?!

the video had a hard time loading on my slow computer, but i think i got the idea... nifty!
even in a pretty dress, however, i see nothing fun about a photo shoot... stupid face... damnit.
