It can be difficult to answer this question when you're thinking about that expensive dress you've probably bought but only worn once. After all, of course, there are those who cannot bear to part with their wedding dress and prefer to preserve it for sentimental value or give it to their daughters. Some brides take a more practical approach and sell their outfit, hoping to get some of their money back. But now there is a third option: getting the wedding dress dirty!

The reason for this is that those who are not interested in classic wedding photographs but want to have original shots and of course, "are we going to fit an outdoor photo into the tight agenda before the wedding?" Couples who get stressed. After all, isn't the possibility of not having the exact album you want due to stress scary? But if you shoot after the wedding, who can interfere with your joy?
