I broke up the “trash the dress” session posts as we did a 3 part series. Our last stop in Higuey was to a typical tourist market. They had all sorts of pottery, carved mahogany, and colorful Caribbean style paintings. I had so much fun photographing the bride and groom perusing for various souvenirs. At one point, the shop owners brought out a purple alcohol and gave the couple a shot.
I asked the bride, Dana, about her thoughts on Trash the Dress Photography:
The best part of the trash the dress photos was just getting out of the traditional poses and backgrounds to really get a feel of the location we were in. It felt so much more intimate and meaningful to explore the local places and take pictures our wedding attire. Being at the local basilica, knowing how important it is to the Dominicans, was a great feeling, and we had an amazing time taking pictures there and at the other locations. On your wedding day, everything goes by so fast that it is hard to just ENJOY it all. Doing the trash the dress pictures was so much more laid back, that I felt so much more connected to the area and to Matt, and I think that it shows in the pictures
