Trash the Dress Session: A Fun & Unforgettable Experience

After celebrating their beautiful wedding at Hilton La Romana, Becky & John wanted to create one more unforgettable memory — a magical Trash the Dress session!

The newlyweds were adventurous, full of joy, and ready to celebrate their love in a unique and carefree way. With the Caribbean Sea as their backdrop and a perfect light surrounding them, it was the perfect setting for something fun, romantic, and spontaneous.

The bride wore her wedding dress once again — but this time, she didn’t have to worry about keeping it spotless. We encouraged them to be playful: walking barefoot along the shore, splashing in the water, and even lying in the sand for some incredible shots. The result? Pure magic.

Why do a Trash the Dress session?

• It’s a stress-free, creative shoot after the big day.
• You’ll get epic, cinematic photos in locations like the beach, waterfalls, or gardens.
• It’s a celebration of your love without rules — and it’s so much fun!

Thinking of adding a Trash the Dress shoot to your destination wedding experience? Here are our top tips to help you make the most of this fun, creative, and unforgettable photo session:

Choose the Right Time

Golden hour (just after sunrise or before sunset) gives the most flattering light and dreamy colors. It’s also cooler and more comfortable for shooting outdoors!

Be Ready to Get Messy

Whether you’re going into the ocean, lying in the sand, or walking through tropical gardens, embrace the moment. The best photos come when you’re not afraid to get a little wet or wild!

Bring a Second Outfit

Want some variety? You can start the session in your wedding dress, then switch to a flowy white dress or boho look for some extra beachy shots.

Do Hair and Makeup Lightly

Think soft and natural! If possible, go for waterproof or beach-proof makeup — or consider a messy bun or loose curls that can handle the breeze and water.

Add Personal Touches

Add a special touch by bringing meaningful or fun items like a bouquet, a champagne bottle, or personalized props such as towels, cups, signs, or t-shirts. These small details help tell your story and make the session feel even more emotional and uniquely you.

Relax and Have Fun

This is your chance to be playful, romantic, and carefree. Laugh, dance, run, and kiss — the more genuine you are, the more magical your photos will be!
