What to do with your wedding dress after the actual wedding is over? Trash it! “Trash the Dress” sessions have increased in popularity over the last few years and range from light trashing to completely demolishing the dress with anything from paint to mud to fire, but for Karissa’s session the day after her Hawaii wedding, we opted for driving out to Ko’Olina for a spectacular evening of running through waves and splashing in tidepools. (Well, Karissa and her new husband Mark did at least – I was concentrating on not falling in the water.) Check out some favorites below!

By immersing themselves in water and engaging in playful activities, Karissa and Mark seem to be expressing their commitment to cherishing experiences and the moments they share rather than preserving material things.
Your photography captured the essence of this unconventional wedding photoshoot beautifully. The vibrant colors, candid moments, and the couple’s infectious joy make these images truly memorable. The juxtaposition of the elegant wedding dress against rugged landscapes and nature’s elements adds a touch of surrealism to the entire series.
