Down and Dirty

Last Thursday, August 16th we were in the Wichita Eagle for our signature session that we offer, The Extreme Session. Denise, editor for the Eagle, contacted us because she had seen that we had submitted some of our work to www.trashthedress.com. We know there is some controversy out there about "trashing" a wedding dress. We came up with the eXtreme session in April 2006.





We originally were doing a promo video created by Fat Cat Productions to show people how we work with a bride and groom. This however, turned into quite a different session- the eXtreme session.™ We work and talk with our couples before doing the sessions to see where they want to go, to what extent they wish to 'trash the dress' and what their definition of 'eXtreme' really is. One couple we did the session for earlier this summer didn't get the photos she wanted on her wedding day from the photographer that she hired. They got in their wedding day attire again and we went to local parks and got some romantic shots. Afterwards they were up for running through the fountains in Old Town. So this being said, not every Extreme session has to be rolling in sand, mud, dirt and grime or swimming in a wedding dress and tux.





This last Monday we had the honor to meet an absolutely fun and spontaneous couple, Stephanie and Cameron. They had gotten married in Cozumel, Mexico three weeks ago and Stephanie had found us featured on www.trashthedress.com back in May of this year. She e-mailed us once she got back from Mexico to tell us she wanted to do one of our Extreme sessions that we offer with Fat Cat Productions. When asking her what she wanted to do she said that we had free reign to do as we wished and be the artists. The only speculation she had was she didn't want her dress ripped, set on fire, cut with scissors or stained with paint. We had an absolute blast!!!! We are really excited about our upcoming bookings of the Extreme session with a bride in Kansas City in January who is praying for snow to do her session in and then another bride in Colorado who is excited to get some shots in the mountains and area waterfalls.





These sessions can be made your own and however extreme you make them, simple or full blown trashing. For those that don't understand why a bride would want to go under water or sit in dirt in her wedding dress, it is said that it is a commitment to her husband, not the dress, and that there is no reason to wear the dress ever again. Truthfully, in all the sessions that we have done amazingly enough haven't gotten too dirty! Dry cleaners do work wonders and you will want to clean the dress prior to the final preservation anyhow. Sessions can be done with just the bride or with the bride and groom. Call us today to book your extreme session!
