Trash the Wedding Dress!

I finally did it, I trashed a wedding dress! One of my brides Jennifer was a perfect model. I really owe her big time because she never once complained. Even when the dress started to drag her into the rough surf. The heat was horrible when we first started, and still I heard no complaints. This also gives Jennifer the feel for what she has in store for her bridals coming up. However we are going to shoot in December when heat is not the issue.

We started at Live Oak, and then drove out to Pensacola Beach. We were sitting in the car cooling off, when we decided to shoot at Fort Barrancus instead. So we drove all the way to the back gate of the navy base. The guard at the gate would not let us in, he said the fort was closed for the day. Agh, I drove all that way! So we headed out to Perdido Key. That turned out for the best because the traffic was small compared to Pensacola Beach. The fact that the stress of keeping the dress clean was absent made the shoot an awesome one. However it was a little shocking to actually have Jennifer get into the water, but look at the artwork! Some of my favorite include her standing in the street, in the surf, and her standing on a dead tree near the wateredge. Does the dress look like a 15 dollar dress found off ebay to you? Because it is! Well worth the money spent! Did you know that this dress looks still brand new? We used a little Shout, and trew it in the washer to get the sand off of it, and it looks just fine. I plan on taking it to a used clothing store to trade it in for another dress to trash. If any of you want to do this with your own dress let me know because I would love to do it again. I plan on doing this my own wedding dress while on a cruise in Mexico. Anyways, Enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think!
