With the cooperation and compliance of adventurous brides, Banff wedding photographers are pushing their photojournalism skills while also creating art. In a quickly spreading new craze called "Trash the Dress," or TTD, wedding photographers take post-wedding pictures in unconventional settings, creating distinctly memorable entries into wedding albums and photo contests everywhere. Numerous wedding photographers now offer both traditional and TTD sittings, the latter of which have been taken in some fascinating settings. Couples indulge in their most loved pursuits while dressed in their wedding finery and the resulting photos are both surprising and beautiful. A bride sporting her wedding dress underwater looks like an exquisite mermaid, while another in a strobe-lighted cave is framed by flying bats and appears as a charming enchantress. Whimsically pairing climbing boots with a flowing white dress and stomping through the woods with her new spouse is yet another favorite way for a bride to join the Trash The Dress brigade and to add a delightful twist to her wedding album. Trash The Dress photography sessions often happen the day after the wedding, once the strain of the special day has melted away and the couple is looking for a fun way to begin their new life together. If you prefer, you can book your session for a few weeks following the wedding, upon your return from the honeymoon. This tactic reduces stress and gives you more time to check out different settings and to experiment with more creative twists on Trash The Dress photography. You may well wonder what becomes of the dress after the Trash. Well, if it isn't irrevocably tarnished or torn, it can likely be returned to its immaculate condition by a good dry cleaner. However, if it has been soaked in wine or chocolate, or burnt by a campfire, it will become a treasured relic of an unforgettable occasion and just as valuable as the basis for family legend. TTD sessions can be as elaborately staged as the wedding itself, with the addition of story lines and props. They can replicate historical events or become period pieces complete with costumes from their era of choice. From caveman animal skins to futuristic space suits, costumes and activities are limited only by a couple's imagination and pursuits. Edmonton wedding photographers who have participated in TTD photo shoots can show an interested bride and groom their portfolios and perhaps help them decide how and when to indulge in this newest and most invigorating photo-op. A TTD session is guaranteed to keep any wedding album from becoming the stale collection of posed participants our relatives bored us with. Instead, it can be a real record of "the way we were," a photographic narrative that future generations will be fascinated to see and hear about. With the guidance of one of the trend-setting wedding photographers in your area, your dress trashing pictures can become some of the most interesting photos in the family.
