Sarah & Tim | Trash the Dress in St. Augustine
I couldn’t wait. I was going to save these until after their wedding post but I just could not wait. Because I love them that much. (And because I have the patience of a 4 year old.) Tim and Sarah were married a few weeks ago up in St. Augustine, Florida at the gorgeous Castle Ottis and spoiled us completely rotten by agreeing to take scissors to Sarah’s dress for this shoot. I know what most of you are thinking… “WHAT? Scissors to a beautiful dress?!” And to you I say, “Why yes. Scissors. But, scissors is toned down from some of the original ideas. Tim, being a firefighter, and Nate were tossing around some spray paint/fire themed ideas but we couldn’t figure out a way to do that without risking Sarah’s life or being arrested. So scissors it was!”
Trash the dress sessions, while on the surface are about getting some really awesome portraits, also represent the bride and groom’s commitment to each other. By “trashing a dress” the couple is saying that they are completely committed to each other and see no need for the bride to ever have the dress again. Sarah and Tim took it to the limit with us and we are so excited by the results.


We found this perfect location with all kinds of lovely little props for us to use, including this old door…



And it started…


Work it out Sarah!
