With the great weather we’ve been having here in Indiana this summer, my trash the dress series have been a breeze. Last week in early August, I met up with gorgeous Brianna, from Indianapolis, for a paint variation on trash the dress. Her hair was a array of colors which perfectly fit the funky shoot we had planned.
She started out painting the dress with the red, green, yellow, and blue paints. After some swirls and dots were painted, she proceeded to dump the paint randomly over the dress. Lola, my chihuahua, decided she wanted to partake and came over to put her paws into the mix. After the dress was thoroughly painted, we painted a stripe on her forehead for added color.
The dress was gorgeous with all the color and this type of shoot is perfect for a bride who wants to add creativity to her wedding album. She doesn’t have to use her dress as there are plenty of options (second hand shops, ebay, etc) to find a dress to be trashed. I’m finding as a wedding photographer, many brides realize their future daughters probably won’t be wanting to wear their dresses so having fun with the gown (or ebay dress) is a great option.
We ended the session with silly string and I had to dodge strings of green and blue flying everywhere. Brianna was an awesome subject to photograph and I can’t wait to shoot her again sometime soon.

By the way.. I loved this shoot so much I’m using Bri as an ad on the AWESOME RocknRoll Bride Blog where I’ve had two past shoots featured: Strangest D….. Gang & Elegance with a twist… as well as this one: multi-coloured tresses... hope to have more!

Amanda Galloway: Awesome! I'm so jealous of this idea. Very creative and this must have been so much fun. The bride's hair goes perfect. Did she do that just for this session or does she always have "crazy" hair?
