Some you may have heard of the recent trend for brides looking for a more 'edgy' photo-journalistic wedding image style to "trash the dress" during the after ceremony shoot.

New Orleans photographer Mark Eric, who claims to have started the trend, has also set up a website at
www.trashthedress.com where you can view some examples of brides, worth a look.
