The Brides' Project

Archive for the ‘Photography’ Category

We’ve all heard about “Trash-the-Dress” shoots, and often we’re asked our opinion.  Well… we hate to see a gown that could raise hundreds of dollars (or more) to fight cancer, being ruined for the sake of a fun picture.  Don’t trash THAT dress… we’ll give you another one instead!  Sometimes salons have older dresses to donate that don’t quite make it to the racks… and we’re happy to trade with you!

In partnership with David Morris Photography, we are offering a special on ‘Trash-the-Dress” shoots that include the dress!  David is committed to having fun and (safely) providing you with a very memorable experience.  Laughter is required!!!

Here are some of his shots:

#1: A Leap of Faith

#2: Hot Dawg…

#3: Paint by Numbers… by the way, splash painting is apparently becoming a trend for adult parties… my hairdresser told me about a place you can go and splash paint your own masterpiece and do a group canvas as well.  Why heck!  Why not get together and make some wearable art!!!

You can contact David at info@davidphoto.ca or give him a call at 416-737-5407.  And don’t forget to check out his site because his wedding photography is amazing, and frankly… his packages and prices are unbeatable.  He also volunteers with a charity called “Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep“, providing photographic memories for parents who lose a baby.

BE A PART OF THE FUN!!!  WINTER TOBOGGAN SHOOT!

Whether you are a bride or not, you’re also welcome to take part in the fun.  We’re all doing the snow dance, and hoping to do a shoot in Riverdale Park with brides on toboggans!!!  Given that Mother Nature is rather fickle, we may not have a lot of notice, but we invite you to take part.  It will likely be a weekday night, from 6pm onwards, assembling at our store.  We provide crins/veils/toboggans, for the shoot, and all you have to do is come with a smile and desire to ride the best hill in Toronto!!!  Send us your name, phone number and email address to info@thebridesproject.com and specify TOBOGGAN in the subject line.

Sometimes our dresses are used for something a little different… and it’s pretty neat to see them in action  Kevin Fox and his wife Sarah took this fabulous shot down near the Flatiron building on Front St. for their advertisement in Today’s Bride Magazine. Check it out!  The bride isn’t chopped off at the knees… there is literally that much dress.  And if she extended her arm, it would look like she was touching the top of the CN Tower!

As you’ll notice above, Kevin and Sarah own WeClick Photography, and their contact number is 647-799-9954.  You can also see some of Kevin’s amazing work at Fox Photography.  Check ‘em out if you’re looking for an extremely talented photo duo!
