TRASH THE DRESS - Food Fight!!

As a wedding photographer I get to go to a lot of parties, but there was this one party that I'll never forget!

It was a summer evening, we (my partner and me) were just done shooting a beach wedding, when I read my email. One of our former brides asked us if we wanted to do a Trash the Dress photoshoot with her.

"I don't care if my dress gets totally messed up and beyond cleaning, you come up with a crazy idea and we'll do it!"

You can imagine our heads started spinning and we got all kinds of crazy ideas. This was our chance to create something memorable.

We lay awake many nights, trying to figure out how to get the most out of this opportunity. We remembered the couple's crazy, out of control bridesmaids and groomsmen and just knew we had to involve them!

And so we came up with the idea of a food fight!

It meant a dream was about to come true for the couple and their friends, doesn't everybody dream of doing this sometime?
We arranged a professional to do the styling and the couple and their friends and family got busy making cakes.

We had everything we needed:

  • Colorful styling
  • Cakes
  • Flour
  • Whipped cream
  • Red wine
  • A swimming pool
  • A group of crazy, out of control friends!!

And this was the result...

Pretty crazy! I guess you only wear your wedding dress once, see why not completely ruin it, haha!

Yeah, that's what I think! The bride told me she actually managed to get it clean again. So maybe there will be a Part 2 someday ;)

What a great idea!
It looks like you guys had so much fun. Who says work always have to be boring lol :D

Thanks! My work is rarely boring :) Only editing hundreds of pictures can be a drag sometimes, but Netflix keeps me going while editing ;)

Nice unusual wedding! Beautiful pictures. People having real fun, nice!

Thanks, glad you like it!

Looks like you had a lot of fun! Lucky you!!!

Yeah, it was just crazy!

What an amazing idea. Great pictures, too!

Thanks so much @donkeypong! I'm hoping their friends will marry soon, then we can do another food fight afterwards ;)

I was wondering if you would be interested in a small sponsorship? (I guess it is a time sensitive offer so I am linking this - so people know I tagged them if they missed a notification.)
