Every day that you wear your wedding dress you reduce the cost per day by 50%

By John Michael Cooper
Trash the dress, also known as fearless bridal or rock the frock, is a style of wedding photography that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is out of place. It is generally shot in the style of fashion and glamour photography.
Usually brides decide to have pictures taken on a beach, but other locations include city streets, rooftops, garbage dumps, fields, and abandoned buildings.

Some sources claim that the trend was originally started in 2001 by Las Vegas wedding photographer John Michael Cooper.

However, the idea of destroying a wedding dress has been used in Hollywood symbolically since at least October 1998 when Meg Cummings of the show Sunset Beach ran into the ocean in her wedding dress after her wedding was badly interrupted. Since then the style has spread around the world and most notably in the UK, with photographers like Steve Gerrard and Mark Theisinger, amongst others, shoot their unique ideas of Trash the Dress.

A model often wears a ball gown, prom dress or wedding dress, and may effect
ively ruin the dress in the process by getting it wet, dirty or in extreme circumstances tearing or destroying the garment. Although destruction is not always needed.
It may be done as an additional shoot after the wedding, almost as a declaration that the wedding is done and the dress will not be used again. It is seen as an alternative to storing the dress away, never to be seen again.

In a Mass Trash The Dress event in 2009 over 150 women wore their wedding dresses once more and were pictured on a beach in Scheveningen, Netherlands. Fine art photographer Melanie Rijkers (MeRy) initiated the act after she found out about the American phenomenon 'Trash the dress' on the internet.

A mass Trash The Dress event was held in Adelaide in South Australia in February 2011.

We have some great places in this area where we can take some pictures and have a memorable experience.
I promise not to deliberately damage a dress but to cherish it and to get some great pictures. And no fire I'm afraid.
