Almost 6 years ago I photographed my first wedding.
   
It was so much fun that I knew I wanted to shoot a zillion more.
Unfortuantely, that first couple, Ryan and Tammi, didn't stay married. This week Tammi's wedding dress was donated to my studio - to join my ever-growing collection of dresses to trash. This dress had been treated quite poorly. It wasn't cleaned before storing and someone had spilled a drink on it during the reception, so it looked terrible. I decided to dye it and just see what would happen. Heck, why not, right?
Today, I mixed some liquid dye and boiling water and proceeded to dip-dye this giant zillion-pound dress. Besides dying my hands very very red, I managed to both remove most of the stains from the dress and give it a lovely new life.
 
Now I just need to find a lovely model/volunteer to trash it! ;)

Wow - it looks really good pink, like it was made that way originally! This is a great idea for recycling dresses - now you just have to share the photos when you trash it!

Too bad she was trying to keep the background in focus, not the dress. |

You did a great job with the dye - That is a nice pink color.
All you need is a model to play Princess Aurora (Disney's Sleeping Beauty)and two others to play Flora and Merryweather as the duel it out with the Pink/Blue (although that would really trash the dress with the dueling colors:-) ) |

On a similar line of thinking... I have a session in mind that I want to try sometime. I want to shoot a bride and groom in a paintball fight. With spats of paint all over the tux and wedding gown. Hmmmmm I need a tux to trash! :)

That could look spectacular if you were to paintball some of the classic wedding group shots - everyone lined up in age and size order, dressed to the nines and splatted with multicolour paint.
You would have to get them posed - with helmets on - splat them - remove the safety gear, then take your shots.
edit for spelling
