Trash the Dress – Desert Style! Part 2 of 2

Loni + Todd

I only met these two about 3 hours prior to this shoot, but I have to say they know how to Bring It! ย I could have sworn Loni had a model background, but no! ย She is just that photogenic!

But see for yourselves…

    You knocked this outta the park, plain and simple. The desert, the tatted bride, the light…. it all came together amazingly. Awesome work lady!

    rad Rad RAD!

  18. These are awesome!!

  19. saw this session on rock n roll bride & i love them … they are stunning! i think it’s the huge contrast in everything that does it for me (though having those kind of “models” works too) … there’s something so rock “n” roll, fantasy about them as well. Gorgeous.

  20. so fun! Love this!!

    Nice shoot! Wow!

    Are you still in touch with Loni?

    I might be intersted in buying the trashed dress as is, no cleaning required…
    This is serious and hones request.

    I try to restore the trashed dress back to wearable (if possible, which is not always the case) If the dress is repairable, I donate it to people who can’t afford to buy a wedding dress for their special day.
    If not, I donate the dress to a local organization which organizes vacations for children (for their dress-up chest)
    I can already tell you that I can’t pay very much for trashed dresses as it is for a good cause.

    The reason that I buy trashed wedding dresses is that they are mostly very cheap, are being thrown away or kept in a box and that I can help other people with their dreams.

    I like to work with clothes, and that’s the main reason for myself for doing this…

    I hope she wants to sell the dress for a small fee to me. I pay for shipping.
    Please contact me at herwyn.w@skynet.be

    Thank you for your time.

    Wendy
    P.S. if you have mor trash the dress sessions coming, please spread the word…
