A few days after their wedding I met up again with Claire and Shane for a Trash the Dress session. Claire had visited the hairdresser that morning and turned up with a funky new short haircut! So, we Trashed the Dress and the hair in the same day!
The beautiful rainforest location is a private property owned by friends. We started out with some tame photos on the grass then moved down to the creek. We climbed and clambered over and around the boulders and carefully crossed the creek to the water hole.
Finally, having worked up a sweat, Claire and Shane were ready to hit the water! By all accounts it wasn’t too freezing, but cool, crystal clear and refreshing. They swam across the water hole, quite a feat in a sopping wet wedding gown, and had a rest on the rock next to the waterfall.
I love photographing in the rainforest with all the interesting textures of the gnarly trees and the moss covered boulders.
Thanks to Claire and Shane for being brave enough to “Trash” the dress and many thanks to Mark and Lynda for sharing their beautiful part of the world with us for the morning. I had a great time and I’m sure Claire and Shane did too!
Here are a few shots from the morning. You can also view their on-line album.

Trash The Dress shoots often involve the subjects making out. Do you ever get shots too steamy to publish Tracey?
