Trash the Dress photography, Edinburgh / Scotland

I don't do wedding photography - loads of other photographers do.

You can use my portrait services for engagement or pre-wedding shots, but I specialise in Trash the Dress shoots.

This is a recent style of photography which takes place after the wedding. Here, the bride wears her wedding or evening dress in a location (usually but not always outdoors) where it doesn't matter if it gets dirty or even ripped and torn.

It's a great way of making a statement - and having original and exciting photographs that will cause a stir!

What to expect:
The first thing we'll do is discuss how much you want to 'trash' your dress! We can go for a shoot that will see your dress survive after a dry-clean; or one that symbolically and literally renders it unwearable ever again.

Once we've done this, we'll discuss location - seashore and forest shots are popular; as are urban locales and edgy interiors.

We'll then meet at the location and arrange lighting and poses to get you a shot that's 100% original and which is a unique memory of your recent wedding.

Shoots like this usually take 2-3 hours, especially as you'll need to change!

What you'll get:
Within 72 hours of the shoot, you'll receive access to a password-protected website containing proofs (unprocessed images) of the shoot. On average, there will be around 40-50 of these.

You will choose up to 5 shots you like (additional shots can be chosen for a small additional fee).

I'll then process these to your instructions (e.g. black & white, retouching, etc) and make your shots available online for you to download.

Included in the package are 3 of your favourite shots printed on high-quality paper at 10x8 inches.

All shots will be made available in high-resolution, suitable for printing on sizes of up to 10x8 inches.

Additional sizes and resolutions (e.g. for publication / print) can be provided on request.

Fees:
My fee will depend on location and length of the shoot. Trash the Dress photography services are available outside Edinburgh for an additional fee. Prices start from £80. Please contact me to discuss details and I can provide you with a quote by return.
