Give New Life To Your Wedding Dress!

A trash the dress photo shoot is a creative and exciting way to commemorate your special day with an exhilarating twist to traditional wedding photos. Taking the shoot underwater adds an extra thrill and sense of adventure. An underwater photoshoot allows you to display your beauty and elegance in a surreal, dream-like setting, creating photos that truly stand apart from traditional wedding imagery. We will ensure a relaxed atmosphere to capture the most natural and graceful images.

Why Choose an Underwater Trash the Dress Photo Shoot?

After the vows have been exchanged and the celebrations have ended, what better way to mark the beginning of your marriage journey than with an adventurous photoshoot that symbolizes the depth of your commitment? Underwater photography captures the ethereal, flowing beauty of your wedding gown in a way that is impossible on land, turning your dress into a masterpiece of art and emotion.

What To Expect:

Your underwater “Trash the Dress” session will be an exhilarating experience from start to finish. Prior to the shoot, we’ll discuss your vision and any specific requests you have. On the day of the shoot, we’ll take the time to get you comfortable in the water, guiding you on how to pose and move to capture the best shots. Following the shoot, we’ll arrange a reveal session for you to select your cherished images and decide on your product choices. You’ll receive a collection of breathtaking images that celebrate your love and adventurous spirit in a way that’s as unique as your relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Your Prices?

To book your photoshoot, a $200 deposit is required, which will be deducted from the total of your chosen package. After the shoot, we’ll have a reveal session where we’ll go through your images together and pick your favorites. If you’d like to add extra digitals or printed products, you can order them at that time. I’ll send you an invoice for the remaining balance, along with any extras, and we offer easy payment plans to make things more flexible.

* Please note, images will only be released once full payment has been received.

Where Are You Located?

I am based in Cairns, Queensland (Australia). The pool that I use for my underwater photoshoots is Herb’s Training & Swim School in Parramatta Park. The pool is private with access to a shower & toilets.

Do I Need To Be A Strong Swimmer?

As long as you are not terrified of the water you will be fine! The pool has a shallow and deep end. The shallow end is 1.3m deep and the dive pit is 3.5m deep. We will take the pool session slow to get you comfortable.

Children must be comfortable in the water and be supervised by a parent at all times.

How Long Do I Need To Hold My Breath?

As long as you can. Only a few seconds at a time is necessary to get a beautiful photo.

Together, we will practice breathing techniques at a pace that suits you. The aim is to make you feel calm and at ease. This will help produce natural-looking and effortless portraits.

What Should I Wear?

Bright colors and flowy fabrics look amazing underwater! For pregnancy shoots any outfit that highlights your baby bump will work. I have a couple of dresses you are more than welcome to wear. However, I would recommend bringing your own outfits as well, something you love and will feel comfortable in.

I am partnered with Mama Rentals and can offer you a 10% discount for all women’s gown hire. View their collection of gowns here!

Once you have booked your shoot, I will send you your unique code to receive 10% off your gown from Mama Rentals.

I also shoot nudes, implied nudes, and boudoirs if that is what you desire.

Which Days Are Your Photo Shoots?

At the moment photoshoots are available on Fridays. Sometimes I can do photoshoots on Saturday morning by request.

How Long Are The Photo Shoots?

Your underwater photo shoot will be a fun and relaxed 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time for posing tips, breathing techniques, and capturing amazing photos without feeling rushed. For maternity sessions, I’ve found 2 hours is just the right amount of time to keep things enjoyable without getting too tiring.

Is The Pool Heated?

Yes the pool is heated!

How Do I Book?

Send me an email and I will set up a time for us to chat over phone or Zoom. This gives us a chance to get to know each other and for me to talk you through the process. If you are happy with everything then we will choose a date and start planning your underwater photoshoot!

When And How Do I Pay?

A deposit of $200 is due when you book. You will be sent a booking link where you can pay by credit/debit card or bank transfer. Your remaining balance will be due 7 days before your photoshoot. Payment plans are available.

Any additional images or products can be paid for after your reveal session by cash, credit/debit, or bank transfer.

Do You Edit The Images?

Yes, as a professional photographer most of my work is in front of a computer. I edit every single image for basic brightening, color and minor tweaks before your reveal and ordering session. Once you select your artwork images, I further edit the selected images to prepare them for you. I spend hours transforming your images into works of art.

What Products Do You Offer?

I love wall art and offer museum-grade canvas, metal, and acrylic prints. You also have a choice of an album, a folio box, and matted and framed prints. I offer a wide range of product sizes to suit every need. I can also custom order additional sizes and products at your request.

How Long Will My Private Gallery Be Online?

Your private online gallery will be available for 12 months if you would like to order more images. I will send a reminder just before it expires. After 12 months, your photos will be deleted to make room for future photo shoots.
