Trash The Dress

A Model Shoot

Kat

September 9, 2009

This is yet another shoot I have been dying to share for ages. Rock n Roll Bride fave, Trigger Happy Tara showed me a sneak peak of these a few weeks ago and me being as impatient as ever I have literally been chomping at the bit to get these up for you all! This shoot was actually part of a mass shoot-out, an event where a bunch of local photographers (in this case Jacksonville) get together to shoot some models and exchange tips and tricks. I love this model and Tara's interpretation of the scene so much because she has given what could have been such a traditional shoot a completely offbeat and rock n roll twist! The Model's dress was Alvina Valenta (style #9700) and her veil was by Lori London (style #VM95). Kudos to Tara. Love these! Credit: Trigger Happy Tara

Awesome Locations

Chad & Erin of Fuller Edge always choose the most awesome locations for their shoots. With Angel & Craig, who rocked their wedding with skull cufflinks, converse trainers, a pink wedding dress and adorable pink and green details (clicky here for the full set), Chad & Erin took them to a junkyard for these fab shots. I am loving the use of water and the texture in every single image. Wonderful! Thanks to Chad & Erin for sending these to me. I always adore their work! Credit: Fuller Edge Photography

Cherish.

Happy snoozy Sunday to you all! I have a distinct lack of a day filled with snooze myself as I plan to share some gorgeous and rockin' trash the dress sessions with you (and knowing me probably more!) I'm going to start with the hot shoot sent in by the very lovely Jeffery Chan of I Cherish You, a photographer from Toronto. The location of the shoot is pretty awesome huh? The shoot took place in the abandoned Kodak building which is now apparantly a very popular shoot zone for local photographers. Thanks to Jeffery for sharing these with me! Credit: I Cherish You

Multi-Coloured Tresses

Kat

August 12, 2009

My life as a blogger is a pretty damn busy one. I'm not just saying this for effect, but I get sent so much amazing stuff to post everyday that I almost can't keep up! The next post of this early Wednesday morning ( have no clue why I'm up so early, I even drank a whole bottle of wine last night) belongs to one of my brand spanking new sponsors, Stacy Able. As soon as I saw this set I knew she not only had to send it to me for posting but she had to make it the image for her new sponsor link. The multicoloured tresses, the splattered paint, the cute dog...oh yeah baby my sponsors are the bestest. Credit: Stacy Able

The Eyes Have It

Kat

August 11, 2009

Erm....woaaaah... I have lost all words right now. Those fake blue eyelashes really make this shoot for me - 80's-tastic baby! You have got to love these right? The shoot can be described as my attempt to take a whimsical, expect the unexpected, approach to what we normally think of when we think of a typical bride, what she should be wearing and what she should look like, etc. For example we had this gown that looks like it was straight from the 80's contrasted with perfectly styled up hair. The bride is fully made-up but in crazy colours that you would usually only see on a cabaret dancer. Even the backgrounds we chose, sitting on a haystack, waiting alone on a bench....imagery that causes the viewer to double-take and basically cause a reaction whether it be a laugh, confusion, wonder - that's what we were aiming for!

Mischievous

Kat

July 27, 2009

I was lucky enough to meet both Eliza (the photographer) and Ly (the model) who sent me this trash the dress session to me a while back on a now rather infamously drunk night out in London! I can safely say the fun and frolics you see below perfectly reflecttheir slightly mischievous personalities. Isn't the shot with the sun coming down just phenomenal? ...and the deers are just amazing, you don't get this is California! (I knew there was a reason I lived in England after all) Credit: Eliza Claire

Suicidal Bride!?

Kat

July 22, 2009

I love this shoot and I love the inspirational Bride in her 'something blue' Doc Martins, but more than that I love the story that goes along with this set. Photographer Jennifer Williams explained: The highlight of the shoot has got to be being pulled over by the Kern County Sheriff! Heather and I took a few shots at a bridge. Little did we know what a scene it would cause. When I left Heather sitting at the bridge while I went to get the car (her shoes were cute but not so comfortable) people called in reporting a suicidal bride getting ready to jump! Lucky for me, the sheriff thought it was really funny. When I explained we were doing a photo shoot, and there was not a run away bride wasn't about to jump off the bridge, he sent us on our way.
