One of our TTD sessions took place in Kent during the summer whilst another took place while we were in Cyprus with a bride, Sarah, who hadn't been able to afford much photographic coverage on her wedding day a couple of years ago and wanted some creative bridal images as well as something in a more contemporary vein. You could call the session an 'epic"'TTD as it lasted a few hours. We started shooting in the town where we found an old, derelict factory and whilst driving to the mountains we spotted a couple of interesting and unconventional places along the way - so of course we had to stop! Once we reached the mountains we shot some images in an abandoned hotel and then got a little lost along some dirt roads, but finally ended up at a small waterfall to finish the day off. We were thrilled with the resulting images, as was our client
Many photographers have embraced this concept and are creating images that have changed bridal photography. These photo shoots have become so popular with clients as it's a great way for brides to wear their dresses again and create images that are memorable and out of the ordinary. Whether a bride wishes to trash her dress entirely or just get it a little dirty, the aim is to compose unforgettable images that are both exceptional and striking.
Trash the Dress pushes the boundaries and motivates photographers to create non-traditional images...it's about creation not destruction.
Sofie Louca and Paul Karaolides run Amorphia Photography, currently based in the UK. Sadly for us they are moving to Cyprus in January 08. However, as they are joining our strong and growing contingent of photographers on the island we expect to be hearing about them in the future. We wish them every success with their move back to Paul's homeland. Trashing a dress is likely to be a lot warmer for their brides!
