Trash the Dress Photo Session

Trash the Dress is a very creative, trailblazing form of wedding photography. Despite the name, TTD sessions often leave the wedding dress intact but the idea is that the bride poses in unusual situations that she would not normally encounter on her wedding day. With the wedding day over, TTD sessions are great for the bride who wants to to do more with her wedding dress.

Watch the video below and find out how one photographer in Spokane, Washington approaches the Trash the Dress session with her clients.

Inspiration Boards-Beautifully Organized

One of the hot ideas cool brides use to organize their photographic wishlists of how they want their wedding to look is inspiration boards.

Similar to the tool used by interior designers to pull together an entire look for a space, Wedding Inspiration Boards give the bride a lovely way to capture all of those clippings from the overstuffed bridal magazines that she cannot seem to stop herself from buying!

Done either digitally from online clippings or with real clippings, Inspiration boards can help you decide which wedding themes best suit your personality and that of your intended as well.

Check out some examples on the oh-so stylish site "Style Me Pretty".

So are you convinced to give Inspiration Boards a try? If you are, considering posting online and link back here for our readers to see.

Thanks!
