Photography · Trash the Dress

One last dance with the sea with photos you didn't know you needed

Trash the dress refers to a post-wedding or day-after photo session where the couple wears their attire into the ocean, sand or wild terrain for dramatic, unconventional portraits. Since your dress and suit won't be needed anymore, there's freedom to get it wet, sandy or windswept. It's bold, it's beautiful and it's entirely unforgettable.

Who says that your dress, that you may never wear again, needs to stay pristine? Some of your favorite images may not be from your ceremony at all. They may be from either the same day or the day after, when the married couple returns to the beach to play. No schedule, no guest list, just you and your spouse, your dress and the ocean. Walk straight into the surf, twirl through the sand and let the Maui wind do its thing.

Good to know

An add-on to your photography

Trash the Dress is added on to an existing photo package, since this kind of shoot entails a lot of preparation. Inquire about fees.

Trash the dress & underwater photography

Because the dress deserves one more adventure. Day-after sessions on Maui, couples tangled in waves, on the sand and each other. Underwater photography is a deviation from the Trash the Dress session as you will actually be submerged into the ocean.

Whether this is your wedding day, honeymoon or vow renewal, the invitation is the same: get playful in the sand and surf and take home photos unlike any others.
