The Worcester Photography MeetUp Group Trashes Dresses

“Trash the Dress? Why would anyone do that to their wedding gown?”

“We heard this comment a lot when we were pitching the idea to the Worcester Photography MeetUp Group.” said Teya Rutherford from Photography by Teya in Oxford, MA. This was her brainchild and she was the one who came to Scott Erb, founder of the Worcester Photo MeetUp Group, with the idea. “It’s important for me to see our group being active together” said Scott Erb. “What makes our group so successful is that our members are proactive and have their pulse on what is hip, trendy, and yes, even a bit non conventional.”

So, 3 large tents went up, 16 photographers joined up with 15 models, 3 professional make up artists, and one amazing wardrobe stylist and they took over Oakland Beach in RI last Sunday to do just that. The group trashed over 20 very nice dresses, some of which were donated by Belchertown Bridal in Palmer, MA.

The idea of trashing your wedding dress after hundreds of hours of stress from planning a wedding has some mass appeal to some very non-traditional brides. They can run around a beach getting wet and dirty and feel free to have a professional photographer capture very unique imagery of them as a bride. The images are something that most brides could never dream of having on a normal wedding day, and that is it’s biggest appeal. Brides other choice is to tuck away their dresses – never wearing them again, never having fun in them again. Some brides feel they are saving it for their daughters. How often does that become a reality? So why not do something fun, creative, and down right dirty with the dress. Trash the dress sessions can be seen on Youtube.com and professional photographers all over the world are sending in submissions from sessions to the web site www.trashthedress.com.

The Worcester photography Meetup Group will also be sending in submissions from their major shooting session last Sunday. The models who attended will get very unique images for their portfolios and the professional wedding photographers can show future brides the endless possibilities that can be captured in their wedding dresses.

Also, it was a heck of a lot of fun! To see a selection of images from the session, please go to
