If you don’t like looking at  lots of pretty pictures, I would probably look away now.

Last week I went on my first ever trash the dress shoot. It was a lot of fun and we really did end up trashing the gown, I genuinely felt quite bad afterwards. But,we did have a fab time doing it! 😉 Kia wanted something rural,muddy and messy. So, I went on a recce to my local woods. I have shot in here before but looked for new ways of using the space – which isn’t hard because it’s just so beautiful. For this particular shoot I really wanted to pre-visualize  where to be, and how I wanted my model to look. And looking through the pictures im happy, because I saw bits of my imagination come to life. But, to get the angles that I wanted at some point I was going to have to get in the mud and the water myself, slightly nerve-racking with a full bag of equipment with you.. one slip was all it needed. But, no falls – just beautiful images.

Kia was an amazing model, really! The hair was done by the amazing Amanda from Ahead of Dexterity. This lady is super talented. Seriously.

This is PART 1. There are so many images I thought it needed breaking down, so I will post the ‘trashing‘ part later this week. So make sure you come back to check it out…
