Bride has blast trashing her dress after wedding day as US photo craze hits Scotland

BRIDE Sammy Birnie and husband Mike left guests shocked when they decided to "trash the dress" after their wedding.

They said this was to give them even more memories of their marriage.

A quad bike driven by the groom covered the bride in mud, and they also sprayed each other in paint and champagne.

The Banchory couple had married at the Raemoir House Hotel earlier this month, but organised the more unusual photoshoot two weeks later at Glen Dye.

Sammy Birnie and new husband Mike took part in a 'trash the dress' shoot

Trashing the dress is a phenomenon the couple had heard about before.

The new Mrs Birnie, nee Anderson, 29, a logistics co-ordinator, said: "It was all my idea. It was just something different.

"I just thought it looked like a load of fun.

"I did not just want my dress to sit in the loft forever - I thought it would be good to make more memories.

"It's not completely destroyed but it will be stained. It's at the dry cleaners.

"I had a locket made from part of the dress before we did this shoot.

Mike also trashed his suit

"I still had powder paint in my hair for a day or two."

Her husband, a 34-year-old car mechanic, said: "I thought it was a brilliant idea - and it was absolutely brilliant.

"I enjoyed driving the quad bike - I don't think Sammy enjoyed the mud as much.

"My brother came and helped - it was his quad bike.

"My mum was quite disapproving to start but came around - and she loved the photos.

"We will look at the photos for years to come."

The pair ruined their wedding clothes

Photographer Logan Sangster, of Deeside Photographics, said: "It was all their idea, I think it's more of an American thing.

"When they came in they also said they wanted to trash the dress.

"We sat down and chatted. The wedding images were still the most important.

"I did ask Sammy if she was sure as it was a beautiful dress and they are not cheap.

"The reaction to the photos has been through the roof.

"We've had a couple of people asking since, so watch this space."
