Des Moines Wedding Photographer | Trash the Dress | Amanda & Ronnie

I know there are a lot of brides out there that hear the words ‘trash’ the dress and feel horrified.  Up until now I haven’t had any examples to show and reassure you that we are not (unless you want to) actually ‘trashing’ the dress.  This type of session is merely just a session in your wedding dress that you would not do on your big day for fear of getting dirty.  Some DO take it to the extreme of rolling in mud and I am all for it if that’s what you want, but you don’t have to!  This bride did get in the water and roll around in the sand a bit and in the end all her dress looked was wet.  This session can be whatever you want it to be!  Happy, serious, sexy, with or without your husband.  Or even some of everything!  They are sooo much fun to do!  This is going to be a pretty long post because I really want to show a lot of examples of this.  I had so much fun with this session and they were troopers!!  Thanks again Amanda & Ronnie! 🙂

I also want to note, you don’t have to be just married to do one of these.  You can be married for 5, 10, 20 years.  You get the point.  It sort of symbolizes the fact that you will (hopefully) never wear it again. 🙂

About Amanda

My name is Amanda and I am a professional wedding and portrait photographer based in Des Moines, Iowa. I travel the world photographing weddings and elopements! I have been shooting weddings 15 years now and I never tire of it. Each day is unique and beautiful in it's own way.

I absolutely LOVE being a wedding photographer. The fantastic moments you never expect, the tiniest details and all the love and craziness that goes on at the same time. It's all amazing and I feel like I have the best career in the world, getting to capture and help you remember all of it. Days flit by in an instant and it's my job to make sure you don't a single moment, or those feelings you felt.

In my free time I love spending time with my 2 beautiful kiddos and husband. I love to be outdoors camping, hiking or fishing, just being in nature. I'm obsessed with plants and gardening. I love finding the beauty in the outdoors and things around me. It's part of why I love photography so much, I get to find the beauty in others. Traveling and dragging my family along with me for photos is my absolute favorite! I also am pretty much a giant Harry Potter nerd. I'm obsessed with all things turquoise. I'd eat sushi every day if I could. I drink coffee ALL day EVERY day (ok and some wine) and fashion is a passion! I am a creative at heart so music and all types of art keep me entertained. I also make it a priority to be near the ocean at least once a year (if not more) and love to feel the sun on my skin whenever possible!

The best things in life are the people we love, the places we've been and the memories we've made along the way
