Gold Coast Dress Trashing January 26, 2008

Contributed by Deb Amsler.

Mel and Dave were married in September 2007 and during the wedding, we started talking about Trash the Dress. Well, Mel’s eyes lit up and said, let’s do it!!

Fast forward to 21st January, with the Gold Coast Bulletin (www.gcbulletin.com.au) in tow, we traipsed to a secret location on the Gold Coast and threw Mel in the water… well, not actually threw, but you get the idea.

Mel has a degree in photography, so she was a most enthusiastic victim, er model. We started with her wedding dress, and the water was actually fresh rainwater surrounded by ti-trees, so not as bad as it looks!

After we’d smeared mud all over her (heeheehee) we asked her to don “our” wedding dress and she was more than happy to have a play around in the voluminous creation.
Mel’s husband Dave was a very willing spectator and accompanied us on the shoot. Thanks Dave!!

We met with Tracey & Glenn for some photos at a residential property in Brisbane full of rusted out vintage cars. Tracey contacted us wanting to trash her dress, being married three years ago. The cars were a fantastic place to start our shoot. Tracey was open to anything to make her photos that little bit different.

Sydney Trash the Dress January 17, 2008

Kathryn had never heard to the Trash the Dress concept before but immediately wanted to do it. We arranged an early morning beach shoot and had heaps of fun trying different things that you wouldn’t normally do in a wedding dress. By the end of the shoot Kathryn was laughing and soaking wet. Early morning joggers all thought she accidentally fell in… luckily she brought a towel.
