A trash the dress session in the heart of Canterbury. In the rain. And cold. Down near the graffiti.Huge fun and very very pleased with the pictures.
The light was gorgeous, the models looked fabulous and the dresses were perfect. The only problem was we’d peaked a day early. Saturday was a perfect day for photography. Sunday was horrific – we had snow, bitter cold, rain, mud, more rain and lots more cold.

Two gorgeous dresses, a beautiful model, umbrellas and a beach. This can only be MyWeddingStory.

Welcome to bridal fashion photography like you may never have seen it before.
There’s a fashion going around. It’s called “Trash the Dress” or “Rock the Dress” or something similar. We’ve even heard of one company calling it “Dirty Bride” shoots….
The idea is simple, you don’t really need that dress any more so you may as well take it out and get it dirty on a photoshoot. It’s a cool idea but I think it’s just wrong.
Why ruin a perfectly good dress on a photoshoot when you can get great results the WeddingsByRyan way?
