About a week after our wedding, I met up with some of the bees in New Orleans for fun-filled weekend complete with sight seeing, devouring delicious seafood, and drinking our way through Bourbon Street. I was also fortunate enough to do a Trash the Dress shoot with the lovely Ms. Fondue, who just so happens to be a kick ass photographer!
As you know, I sold my dress, so obviously I didn’t trash my actual wedding dress. Instead, I pulled a Mrs. Cola and found one online for really cheap!
Ms. Fondue and I had a ball, and I was thrilled with the final results. Take a look!

Ms. Fondue and I really wanted to find a fountain for me to jump in, but believe it or not, we couldn’t find a single one! Maybe it’s a good thing that New Orleans doesn’t have any fountains on Bourbon Street…
Are you planning on doing, or did you do a TTD session?
i am on the hunt as we speak for my TTD dress… I refuse to get my real dress dirty. I bought red cowgirl boots and plan on jumping in the river.
the black and white photo of you in the door way is AMAZING - not that they’re all not beautiful, but that one made be gasp
the black and white photo of you in the doorway is AMAZING - not that they’re not all lovely, but that one made me literally gasp - love it!
Love the photos! But… I don’t see any trashing of the dress…
Hmm I know TTD shoots are technically just going in areas you wouldnt have with your actually dress on….but i have to say..these look more like bridal pictures to me…where is the trashing!!??
on that note though they are VERY lovely pictures, I cant get over how gorgeous you look!
I SO want to do a trash the dress session…. especially since my dress is just hanging in the closet waiting for one!
Beautiful photos! I have been dying to do a TTD shoot too.
Gorgeousness, Lioness. This 2nd dress, with hair flower, looks marvelous on you!
I’m still on the fence. Being a 2-dress bride, I have the first, unworn dress (that was uber cheap) in my closet, however it’s a little big and too long since it was never altered. Got a nice orange stain (doritos from the after party perhaps?) on the bottom of my actual dress, so I might use that. Or not at all. I dunno.
I’d love to participate in a TTD session, although I think I’d have to find a different dress as well! Your photos are lovely. 
I agree, the photos are great but I wouldn’t consider this a TTD. In fact, I would even say if a photographer advertised these as TTD photos, I would not contact her to do mine. These look like some outdoor/adventuerous bridals and I also love the BW doorway shot!
You look beautiful and I love these were in NOLA since that’s my second home but I’m with the other girls…where’s the trashing? I’m doing one with a cheap dress I bought but we’re doing my hair and makeup all funky then I’m having paint and whatnot thrown on me
Such gorgeous photos! I love the dress you found for these. Too bad you couldn’t find a fountain though…the only ones I saw in NOLA were dudes peeing on Bourbon Street at night 
Gorgeous! i love the one in front of the door…3rd from the bottom - so lovely!
