Meet Julia … it’s always nice when a bride isn’t worried about getting a little bit of PEI’s red dirt and barn on their dress. Julia grew up riding horses and wanted the feel of her shoot to be like a bride at the derby, so this was the perfect setting for her to “trash the dress/rock the dress”.
For the record, a ‘trash the dress/rock the dress’ photo shoot isn’t so much about trashing the dress as much as it is about creating artistic, fashion-inspired images of a bride in her gown, venturing into places where a bride may not normally feel comfortable or have the chance to visit on her wedding day, at least not without a box of Tide. Photographer Kyle Perison said it perfectly – “It’s never been about destruction – It’s always been about creation”.
Partnering with Liam Hennessy of Applehead Studio and Heather Crosby-Gionet of This is Photography, we collaborated with many of the Island’s amazing artists, musicians and business owners – all of whom went above and beyond to not only make us feel at home, but help us bring our crazy little idea to life. A big thanks to everyone!
It seems that our photo shoot caused a little bit of a stir when a local PEI newspaper published an article talking about a bunch of Halifax wedding photographers trashing wedding dresses for art. We’ll let our images speak for themselves! More to come …
A big big thanks to Bay Breeze Stables in Summerside for letting us use their amazing facility (and Chico for being a charming model), and the wonderful “dream team” at Katharina’s Bridal Boutique. Hair was by Paige Ricketts (Whispers Hair Design), and make-up was by Michelle Cudmore
