The bride and groom are able to play around with accessories and get some amazing images without the stress of getting something on the dress.  The feedback that couples say is that they were able to relax and enjoy being a bride and groom.  They were able to get the images that they were hoping for, but didn’t have time on the wedding day.  Secondly, no, you do not have to “trash the dress!!”  Trust me, you want to add this to your wedding package!  Remember to ask about our registry; this would be the perfect gift!

The below session was photographed in Columbia, South Carolina.  What you see are the layouts to their Trash the Dress Album.
