We were reminiscing about Liz’s trash the dress photo shoot and how to convince more of you brides to do this. Hey, you can even involve your hubby! Keep in mind, trash the dress doesn’t necessarily mean “destroy” it. There are many themes or locations that will preserve your dress following the shoot. If your reservations for trashing your dress are because your daughter will wear it in 20-30 years… well… our guess is she’ll want a new one. While we never pressure brides into these shoots, we always let them know how enjoyable they are and how neat the photos will be years down the road.

What kind of trash the dress session would you do? Ocean? Under a waterfall? Horse Riding? We wanna hear your creative ideas!

Enjoy some of these images from Jacksonville Beach, FL. We did this shoot the day after Liz and John’s wedding. Crazy to think this was over 2 years ago!

We had an incredible weekend at Liz and John’s wedding in Jacksonville Beach, Florida! It was a beautiful outdoor wedding at the Casa Marina Hotel. Rain started pouring down during the ceremony, but a little water couldn’t take away from this wonderful occasion. In fact, we got lucky with a rainbow after the ceremony! On Saturday we did a ‘trash the dress’ photo shoot with Liz and John in the ocean the day after the wedding (see our next post). We were blessed with an awesome bride and groom, wonderful people, and unique weather.

Liz and John, you are amazing and you are such a pleasure to be around. We thank you and your friends and family for being so kind! We wish you the best!
