Pittsburgh Trash the Dress Session | Kristin and Josh

Sometimes you get rain on your wedding day, which is supposed to mean good luck. But of course, rain can also disrupt your vision for your wedding photos, which is what happened to Kristin and Josh on their wedding day last year. Kristin was a bridesmaid in a Susie and Nick’s wedding, and I remember her telling me about her rainy wedding day and her disappointment with her photos. So a “day-after” session (or sometimes called a “trash the dress” session) seemed like a perfect solution for her.

A “day-after” session doesn’t actually need to occur the day after your wedding. It is basically a special photo shoot of you and your husband in your wedding attire on a day other than your wedding. These sessions are a lot of fun because there’s no pressure to be anywhere at anytime, and you’re able to take some more creative photos that might get your wedding dress a bit dirty in the process.

So after a couple of reschedules (due to rain!), we finally got some decent weather last week for Kristin and Josh’s trash the dress session. Kudos go to Josh for being so willing to get dressed up again for photos (not always the first thing a guy wants to do). And many thanks to Jay who came along and helped me with lighting. Here are a few of my favorites:
