Trash The Dress Shoot in Portmahomack

Recently I did a Trash The Dress shoot down In Portmahomack, with Andrea Gordon. Andrea was married 3 years ago but decided she wanted to get some cool images done around the farm. It was a very cold and windy day which made it tricky, but the farm buildings were great - my kinda thing! We went to the rocks and up to the lighthouse but it was just too cold and windy up there. Thanks to Andrea for being a great sport and so easy to photograph. I've made a lot of the images into a YouTube slideshow so have a look and let me know what you think!

The last two brides who have done Trash The Dress / Post Wedding Shoots with me have been girls who hadn't been photographed by me on their day. This is always an option for brides, particularly those who maybe were on a tight budget at the time, or maybe couldn't get me booked on the day, or even some who weren't aware of me at the time but want some amazing images now! Trash The Dress is a term I use carefully, as it is never trashed (unless someone wanted it to be), and it's more a case of being able to take a few more chances with getting wet or dirty which you wouldn't risk on the actual day. The worst a dress gets is muddy or wet, which doesn't do any harm to it at all. The advantage of the TTD/PWS is that there are no time constraints either, so you can go to locations you may not have been able to on the day - and can spend more time at it. It's also a huge amount of fun as I'm sure anyone who's done this with me will testify. So if you're thinking about having a shoot - drop me an email and let's talk about it!

Sorry to hear about your mishap, well that's what you get if you play footie :P
Cool stuff, personally prefer this one for the old buildings and light etc, well I am what I am :D
I have fancied doing something on the "Trash the Dress" theme for a while, maybe I'll get round to it one day.
Don't suppose you have an HD version? Yep I'm a chancer ha ha!
