Whether you know it as "Rocking" the dress or "Trashing" the dress, the results are generally the same. For those new to the concept, this form of photography is described as:
"...think about it -- You hunted for that dress. Maybe you pored over magazines, and scoured bridal shops. You may have endured hours of poking and prodding at a dress-maker's. You have dieted and exercised, let things out and reined things in to create that perfect look for your walk down the aisle. Now what? Pack it up for storage? Put it up on Ebay? You put your heart and soul into those yards of silk and taffeta. Don't you both deserve better?
That's where Trash My Dress comes in. Conceived as a final farewell to the dress, this is all about contrast and self-expression. You get to choose how far you go. We can create gorgeous shots that preserve every inch of beading and lace, or we can let loose and roll around in the surf, tramp through the mud -- let that dress go in a blaze of glory."

Soooooo, take about 5 months of planning (hair and makeup, hair pieces, food, transportation, scouting out locations, etc etc etc) and 6 super adventurous past brides, and this is what you get:
I want to thank Kalee from
