Liesel & Tim Fun Trash The Dress In Dubai Desert

Shooting Liesel and Tim's fun filled trash the dress shoot with camels in the Dubai desert was so much fun, I think I could have shot these two for HOURS!

Trashing the dress in the Dubai Desert

Is there a better backdrop than the Dubai desert for a trash the dress suit, throw in a orange Ford 4 x 4, champagne, whiskey, views for days and two camels and you get absolute BANGERS for photographs! 

I was so lucky to shoot Liesel and Tim’s Dubai desert wedding a couple days before this, where we danced under the stars and they wanted to make the most of the stunning dress and when shooting this shoot was mentioned, I was like YES! We have to do this. 

Lisel and Tim, thank you for bringing me to Dubai, I absolutely LOVED the shopping and the Formula 1, but mostly I LOVED sharing two special shoots with you two, your family and friends! I think we got some absolute bangers for photos. I mean, what was that sunset even?

Until we meet again,

The Dubai desert offers a breathtaking setting for a luxury “trash the dress” photo session, combining wide open sand dunes, warm desert light, and iconic Middle Eastern scenery. As the sun sets over the horizon, the sky shifts through soft gold, blush, and deep amber tones, creating a cinematic backdrop for couples who want something bold and unforgettable. The presence of camels moving quietly across the landscape adds a timeless, cultural element to the experience, blending tradition and adventure into every frame.

This remote desert setting allows couples to step away from the city and into a world shaped by nature and stillness. For those searching for a Dubai desert wedding photographer, adventure couple photography in the UAE, or a trash the dress session in Dubai, the dunes provide a unique blend of luxury, freedom, and dramatic beauty that transforms simple moments into powerful, story-driven images.
