    i am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!!!!!! i could honestly wet my pants!!!!!


    i was looking at some beach photos, with the bride and groom in the water and saw lots of beach trash the dress shoots. my photograher has just told me she has an underwater camera and she SOOOOOO wants to do this!!! remember the cheap china dress i got from the bay?? well, i could wear that and not worry about wrecking my actual dress, as i still need it for the blessing at home.

    my wedding is the thursday and the trash the dress underwater shoot is on the saturday!!

    i haven't told h2b yet as i don't think he'd be too happy about posing for more photos, but i think it's too big an opportunity to miss!!

    No I'm wearing the original dress. The china one just didn't feel right and I love my dress

    My photographer messaged me and said she had an underwater camera so we're gonna do the beachy-splashy shots and the full on underwater stuff!! It's gonna be awesome!!! It's only costing 75 euros too!!

    OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have just had the most amazing idea thanks to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I too have a dress that wont be worn, it was too big and the wrong colour....I dyed it and ruined it.....
    THAT dress could be used for something like this, I would LOVE some beach photos.......or in a stream.....

    Thank you for the brilliant idea. I wouldnt ruin my actual dress, but the ebay dress......why not?
    And Kisiwisi......my china dress is also grecian style. But I wont be going underwater.

    rags, that would honestly be amazing!! especially as you have always wanted to recreate it!!

    i'm not too sure which beach in cyprus, but nicky (photographer) will choose the best place to do it. we're getting sunset pics done on the wedding night, so will probably be the same beach.

    fiona, i've just told my h2b about it and he just raised his eyebrows lol i MAY have stretched the truth a little by saying it was included with our photography package, but at least i now know he's not against it. i think it'll be so fun!!

    I just read about a lady in canada who got married, then 3 months later decided to have some last photos taken and ended up going in the river for a swim for photos but slipped on a rock in shallow water and was dragged under from the weight of her dress and the current. The men try to save her but she was found 4 hours later by a diver. Then another photographer said in may he saved a bride from drowning near the same place.

    I cant believe anyone is still considering this after the tragedy in Canada that was reported yesterday. Firstly, how stupid, secondly, how disrespectful to the poor bride who lost her life just because she fancied doing something trendy. Ridiculous.

    Clearly that particular river in Canada is too dangerous for people to be messing around in. It doesn't mean that drown the grown/trash the dress shoots are too dangerous and should never be done by anyone because of one unfortunate incident.
