Trash the Dress Bash - DC!

By: Neal Jacob Photo | Monday, June 18th, 2007

Hey Ladies! Trash the Dress has been getting a lot of press lately! There have been articles in the New York Times and stories on Entertainment Tonight and Good Morning America! I have a group of about 10 photographers right now that would be doing a Trash the Dress Bash in the Northern Virginia area. We haven’t set a date yet, but we would like to do this sometime in July. Since most of the photographers involved have weddings to shoot, we would have to do this on a Sunday. If anyone is interested, please leave a comment on this blog (please make sure you provide your e-mail address!) and I’ll be in touch with you.

Oh, and this will not cost you a cent! ** You will have to agree to allowing the photographers present to use the images for their portfolio and commercial use.

Thank you :)
Neal

** - The “not costing a cent” only applies to this “Trash the Dress Bash - DC” Event. Any sessions scheduled outside of this special event are subject to regular session fees.

I was informed that the New York Times article requires that you have to have a password to read the article. Here is a link to another article (Trash the Dress done by my friend, Shelby Martin!)

Trash The Dress

By: Neal Jacob Photo | Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

I am a member of many professional photography organizations and discussion groups. One thing that seems to be a hot topic of discussion is trashing the dress.

I have been wanting to do a Trash the Dress session, but I haven’t been able to find a bride willing to go through with it. What do you do with the dress after you have worn it? My wife and I will be married nine years this June. Her dress is in a sealed box, which is in a basement closet. We haven’t seen her dress since our wedding night. When our daughters get married - 20, 30 (do I hear 40!) years from now, styles will have changed a lot since June 14, 1998. No offense to my wife, but I am sure that they will be looking for a dress of their own to get married in. But, being a guy, how do I say to a bride “So, would you like to trash the dress?” I’d probably get slapped, kicked, and other unprintable things. My health would be in serious jeopardy. Well, what better than a former bride to lend just the right words. A friend of mine recently posted this to her blog:
