Why you should Trash The Dress. For many brides it’s a simple “never” and that’s fine, whilst for others it’s a maybe or not quite sure. After all it’s their wedding dress! First off the name “trash the dress’ is a bit like doom and gloom. It’s rare that the dress is written off or destroyed in fact I’ve never seen that happen. So why do it?

We’ve had a “flurry” of returning families and couples this past week which has been lovely. Debby and Patrice were married in Turks and Caicos ten years ago at the Point Grace resort. They have been frequent visitors to TCI over the years and followed our blog so on their tenth anniversary a “Trash the Dress” shoot and a renewal of vows was on the cards. The shoots were on two separate days so we picked up everyone and helped with a few family pictures before they headed off to the Beaches resort for their ceremony and then a few days later we did part two with just the two of them. So great to catch up again. The kids were awesome, the family happy to be driven around to some fun locations and I LOVE the shots of the two of them on Taylor Bay – a special place for them… The waves and wind were not too co-operative for the underwater shots and trying to get underwater in a wedding dress that traps air is a crazy difficult task as times (so I’ve been told!!)

As part of their wedding celebration we did a quick Trash the Dress Photo Shoot with Whitney and Joshua last week. We coordinated the shoot with mom’s arriving on the island and providing baby sitting for their daughter Madeline and also a slight delay due to some heavy rain that drenched the island on the afternoon of the planned shoot. With logistic out of the way we did a gentle tour of the island, picking out some fun locations we know and love that looked great even under the overcast skies. Both Whitney and Joshua were fabulous to work with. Easy going and adventurous, they went “All the way” for the shoot and were soon upto almost their necks in water !! A fun shoot and a great pre-cursor to their wedding day the following day!

This year we’ve seen a rise in the number of brides that have asked us to help them with “day after” or Trash the dress” shoots. Now for clarification, a trash the dress (TTD) shoot doesn’t mean that every bride has to destroy her dress in these fun shoots. we are quite happy if just the bottom gets a little sandy – no pressure from us, but with such amazing water (plus it’s warm!) we do find lots of couple’s making the plunge!Read More »Day after the wedding or “TTD” shoot.
After capturing two wedding ceremonies on two different days with Katlyn and Neil, we met once more but this time it was for a very different type of photo shoot; an underwater ‘trash the wedding dress’.
We don’t normally get the chance to capture these types of images very often, but when we do, we love it! Swimming in the crystal clear waters of the Turks & Caicos plus taking underwater photos is just amazing and lots of fun.
For the photo shoot we went to Smith’s Reef near Turtle Cove Marina. The water that day was flat calm and super clear…add to that a good looking couple and you have the perfect combination for some beautiful images!
