Oh man!! Have you ever typed out the best story ever told that was so long but worth it and then your computer looses connection?? THIS JUST HAPPENED! I’ve got this HILARIOUS story I’m going to share in tomorrow’s blog because I can’t possibly sit here a type it all out again! Man.. frustration here at the Hensley House!
Anyway.. being able to post these next shots makes things all better. Tonya, who is a photographer in the Johnson City area, called me up a few months ago with this killer idea! Since her dress was just sitting in the closet.. why not put it to good use and get some great pictures at the same time. I’ve seen a-many trash-the-dress sessions.. most of which were beyond cheesy so I’ve always replied to anyone interested in a “Trash The Dress” session, “Only if you REALLY want to trash it! None of this wading in the water stuff.” Sometimes I get another email.. sometimes I don’t. So, if after seeing these you want to do the same BRING IT ON! I’d love love love to! However, you better be ready to really trash the thing.. I’m thinking: rain storm, dirt, beach/sand, gallons of paint being thrown at you, ripping, burning… trashing the thing! If interested.. let me know! Think of the dirtiest place possible and I’ll meet you there!
This idea was all the brainchild of my new friend Tonya. I couldn’t wait to shoot this “rockstar” session from the moment we got off the phone. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

These are so awesome and a great little story to go along. I normally don’t brag on myself in pics but you made me look awesome! I had so so much fun and would love to work with you anytime you need another shooter! even if it is in knoxville. There is much better shopping in Knoxville LOL. Call me anytime and if I can get a plane reserved that would be fun too! If you are working in JC and have time for lunch or dinner give me a shout. Oh I was wondering if any full length pics turned out at the train station before we trashed it? No biggie just wondering. OK I am rambling but I am just so EXCITED. You have an awesome talent girl!
Thanks
Tonya
I LOVE the trash the dress pics. Those are AWESOME!!! I love that fact that the bride let her boys add some color to her dress. That’s so cool!!!! I’m sure the little one had a BLAST!! I used to live in Bristol, and love shooting downtown. So many cool buildings and old doors. Very good job!!
