If you or your spouse always dreamed of being a model, then a trash the dress photo session might be right for you. Also known as bridal glamour sessions, these sessions have newlyweds, sometimes just brides, getting dressed up again after the wedding to pose in unusual places without fear of dirtying their attire. "The images are so cool because it's stuff you wouldn't see on the wedding day," says Kara Pennington, owner and photographer of Kara Pennington Photography in Jacksonville, Fla. "It's a chance to get different shots." Brides have "trashed their dress" everywhere from the ocean to a Harley. Take a peek:
