Trash The Dress

At Imagine Images we strive to create amazing, innovative and totally creative imagery. This Trash the dress photoshoot was one of my favourite, most memorable shoots to date. I had the opportunity to meet and work with some amazing talented and like minded people.

When the bride begins to search for her wedding dress, she might not know it at the time- but she is embarking on a journey. From finding the perfect dress, to experiencing one of the most important days of your life wearing that dress, it is a garment that should never be forgotten, however, after the big day, the dress is often packed and boxed up never to see the light again, I believe that such an important garment deserves an appropriate and artistic burial.

This shoot involved 5 models, A makeup artist, 2 Hair dressers, a Stylist/designer and me! We started at the Imagine Images studio at 8am, the girls took roughly and hour and a half each to get ready- so if the team didn’t pull together the day would have fallen apart! After shoot everyone at the studio we went to two other locations (and a maccas pit stop) we finished at roughly 7pm, it was an 11 hour shoot but the results speak for themselves! Below is some behind the scenes stuff and then Final images from the shoot, enjoy!

About Me

My photo
ERINA, nsw, Australia
Im Kendell, A lifestyle photographer based on the sunny Central Coast and director of Imagine Images. People love my work because it's modern and the sessions are fun, repetition bores me so I LOVE trying new things with my clients, the nuttier the better! I really don’t like over glamorized photography, I prefer to get to know and connect with my clients, if they feel comfortable-spontaneity and natural moments just happen, and that makes for amazing and memorable photos. This blog takes you behind the scenes, and you will get to know a little more about the friends and family of Imagine Images. I love sharing my work, I hope you enjoy it and much as much as I enjoy creating it!
