DH and I want to do a Rock the Dress/Trash the Dress (whatever you call it) shoot here... Can anyone recommend: 1) A Photographer-- that has an "artsy" type of style. But not terribly expensive for a photoshoot.2) MUA-- I had airbrush done for my wedding, and I really liked it... so someone who preferably does airbrush, but I'm open to a good MUA that doesn't do airbrush too.  I've been hearing good things about Nancy here... 3) Hair-- If I could get my makeup and hair done all at one place, that would be AWESOME... but if not, that's fine =). Thanks!!! =)

    Also, if you want more of an 'artsy' photographer at a cheap price, you could check out Innovatory Photography.  I have booked him for my wedding next year.  He seems like a great guy and very reasonably priced!

    A Trash the Dress (TTD) session/rock the dress session/ day after session is a chance for a bride (or bride and groom) to get a few more pictures in your wedding attire in some more exotic/interesting locations without worrying that you'll mess up the dress before heading off to the ceremony and/or reception. MOST sessions don't end up causing any permanent damage to gowns (unless the bride is willing to destroy the gown) as things like water, dirt, and grass stains can be removed by your cleaners.Here are some examples:[url]http://rawphotodesign.com/blog/?cat=33[/url] [ur]http://chelseanicoleblog.com/category/trash-the-dress/[/url] In general, TTD shoots are a little more "artistic" and "edgy" that your typical bridal/wedding portraits, so they're also a chance to let that side of your personality shine.

    I ended up doing a lot of these pics with my original wedding pics so I am waiting to see if I will actually need them. I am holding off getting my dress cleaned until I find this out. Good luck with the pics!

    I have seen a lot of trash the dress shoots that take place in water. Is there a lake or river close to you? Of course, you would probably freeze your butt off.
