Glam the Dress

I think this Trash the Dress trend is atrocious. Have you heard of it? The idea is that a bride will wear her gown one more time after the wedding in a more relaxed, sometimes purposefully dirty environment, and be photographed "trashing" it to various degrees. Don't get me wrong, is not the idea I take issue with. After all, weddings can be anxiety-building and the bride's enjoyment of the gown that took her months to find and most times quite a bit of money to buy can easily get lost in the mountain of preparations and last minute crisis. So why not giving the dress one more wear in a totally different environment? But it is the name (and what the name implies) that doesn't sit well with me. I am not trashy. I don't want to trash anything, least a gown that represents to the bride one of the most special days in her life. Why not wear it again with a different mindset?

I am part of the Glam the Dress movement. I want to photograph you in your wedding dress one more time, after the roller coaster of your wedding is over, but this time make it fun, and chill, and all about you. You don't have to think of yourself as particularly glamorous. I reframe the word; it is not about an uncomfortable hat with a feather and pearls, it can be a denim jacket on top of your tulle dress and flowers in your hair paired with your lace gown. The idea is to elevate the dress instead of trashing it. To give you the rare opportunity of getting photos of yourself, in your most special garment, enjoying the moment and remembering The Big Day. Specially if you didn't budget for the big photographer for that day, you can still have professional photos to treasure forever.
