What's a trash the dress shoot?

A In a trash the dress shoot, the bride poses while getting her wedding gown dirty for the camera. Exactly how dirty depends on the bride. Some do no more than walk through the woods, while others wade through puddles of mud or swim in pools. Either way, trash the dress photos tend to have a cool, very editorial look and feel that brides like to have as a treasured wedding keepsake. Some wedding photographers will include a trash the dress shoot in your package, while others will be happy to set up a shoot postwedding, even if he or she didn’t photograph the actual wedding.
