Venue: Bucuti Beach Resort Aruba
Dress: Watters
When Lily sent me a link to a video of a trash the dress session a week before her wedding and called it “inspiration”, I knew this shoot was going to be amazing. For the record, I think “Trash the Dress” has gotten a bad rap by some – Lily’s dress was definitely not trashed at the end of the session (just a bit wet and dirty). Nothing a little elbow grease can’t get out.
I had seen photos of brides and grooms rolling around in the surf or wading into the water a bit from other photographers. However, I wanted to take that concept a bit farther and go UNDER the water. So, that’s what we did!
I’d love to hear what you think – leave comments below.

Hi Bianca – You can purchase an underwater housing for any SLR camera. They typically cost $1k – $2k for the good ones. However, I used a much cheaper option, which was essentially a plastic ziplock bag that your camera fits inside. It’s obviously much more durable than I’m making it sound, and costs around $300 on adorama or B&H. It worked fine, but you can’t adjust your camera settings without opening the bag again, so you need to make sure you’re set up correctly before shooting with it.
