Trash The Dress Session at Lanterman’s Mill in Youngstown, Ohio

Trash the dress? Yes, please!! Albeit, we’re a little biased as photographers, we are definitely fans of this trend! It was pretty popular a few years ago, and we hope it makes a comeback because it’s so unique! While it’s not for everyone, if you don’t plan to clean & preserve your wedding gown for years to come and want a fun way to get more out of your dress after your wedding day—or you just want an excuse to take some more epic photos after your big day—a trash the dress shoot can be a fun way to get the most out of your wedding experience!

We can’t get enough of this trash the dress session at Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio. Not only is Tatyana STUNNING, but her shoot was SO much fun! We began with a short model session at Fellows Riverside Gardens before heading to Lanterman’s Mill to capture some nice portraits and, of course, to TRASH this dress!! Multi-color eco-friendly powder made sure this what done right! (haha) and it turned out MAGICAL! How epic are these?!

Donny & I are always up for an adventure! Hit us up if you are, too!

Kind Words

We are so happy with our experience that we had to yell it from the mountain tops! They made sure we got all of the dreamy photos we were hoping for! It snowed like crazy, but nothing fazes these two!
