Andrea married the man of her dreams in a romantic castle just over a year ago. The vows were said, the guests partied the night away, and then the exquisite and expensive wedding gown was professionally cleaned and preserved in a keepsake box. Until recently.

She had the urge to wear that gorgeous dress once again. But why just settle for safe pictures when there is an opportunity to be risky and adventurous!

A trash the dress session is a glamorous photography session in which a bride has the opportunity to rock it out in her wedding dress again. It is a symbolic representation of the solid commitment between husband and wife. The dress is trashed and will never be worn again!

Popular places for trash the dress sessions include dirty alleys, rooftops, abandoned buildings, and most of all the beach. Andrea, her husband Derek, and I got together for two separate sessions and took Grand Haven by storm. As a final goodbye to her wedding dress, Andrea let the waves of Lake Michigan crash against her dress as she waded in the cold water. The beach was deserted when Andrea posed for my camera – because it was FREEZING! I was wearing two coats and was still shivering while Andrea went for a little dip in the lake in October. Girl, you’re crazy, but I sure do love the photos!

I have good news for you if you are reading this and thinking that you would like to do a trash the dress session but don’t want your dress to get dirty. After two trash the dress sessions and rolling in the sand and water, Andrea says her dress is still in good condition and was able to be cleaned.

So please enjoy these wild and crazy photos and video!

Courtney and I headed over to Robinette’s Orchardto “trash” her dress. This is an extra session that brides can choose to add onto their wedding day packages. It’s a fantastic excuse for a bride to put on her dress again. We pay so much for these beautiful dresses and we only get to wear them for a day at the most. A trash the dress session is an artistic approach to capturing a bride in her wedding dress after the big day happens. The dress is free to get dirty or even trashed! Even if you’ve been married for several years, you can still put your wedding dress back on for a fun day of modeling!

Some brides are afraid their wedding dress will get destroyed, but you can get it as dirty or not as dirty as you would liek.

Courtney has such a natural beauty about her, so we found a location that fit her style. I LOVE her pictures and could not slim down my favorites. Therefore, I have posted a very large amount of her photos!

My friend  I grew up together and went to the same school from K-12. We were college room mates for a year and she stood up with me in my wedding! Doing photo shoots for a long time friend has to be one of the best jobs everShe just got married last June and was willing to let her dress get dirty for this fun photo shoot. She also braved the cold and we got some amazing photos because of it! Thank you Rob for being a good sport about it all! Check out her slide show below and make sure not to miss the great silly string slides at the end.
