"Trash the Dress"



Trash the Dress,(TTD) additionally called rock the frock, is a style of wedding photography/videography that is a love it or hate it. Most often done with only the bride & groom, shot with a traditional style in a non traditional location that includes in the water, on city streets, on rooftops, in garbage dumps, fields, and abandoned buildings. Throw all the traditional rules out the window and find a way to put on your "Beetlejuice".

The idea of destroying your wedding dress 1st appeared in October 1998 when a bride ran into the ocean in her wedding dress after her wedding was badly interrupted. Since then the style has spread around the world with photographers creatively shooting unique sessions of "Trash the Dress".

Most often done as an additional shoot after the wedding, almost as a declaration that the wedding is done and the dress will not be used again. It is seen as an alternative to storing the dress away, never to be seen again. Some brides have even been known to purchase a second less expensive version of their dress to trash.

Above is a little look behind the scenes at a "Trash the Dress" session earlier this spring with Vernon photographer Kyle Perison.

Wherever-Whenever... Destination Weddings

I love shooting weddings... here, there and everywhere! I also like to provide peace of mind to my couples... The only thing I want them to be thinking about on their wedding day is each other. Leave the details to the pros you have chosen for your wedding day.



I have been shooting weddings for 20+ years and during that time through the relationships I have developed, requests are made for me to travel to places around the world and cover weddings for couples wanting the same service and quality I offer at home. It really is about the piece of mind I offer and making sure you get what you pay for and not a foreign speaking video production company that might not have the same capabilities or talents that I can offer. So why don't you take Alta Resort Productions with you? I always provide extra coverage beyond what is called for as I love to be a part of the "destination wedding experience". Regular pricing of our wedding video packages apply and I am simple and rounded for the "additional costs". This includes ALL costs. Transportation, Accomodations, Car Rental, Food and Incidentals. You will not pay a dime more! In the US/Caribbean/Mexico ADD $1500, In Europe/Asia/Australia ADD $2500. Call me today to arrange your Destination Wedding Video Coverage... Here in Banff or wherever your dreams want to take you :-)
