Roaring 20’s Inspired Fashion Shoot

This shoot was inspired by this London Double Decker Bus. It came over to the states from England on the last voyage ever of the Queen Mary. When I saw it, I knew I had to do a shoot with it! I have always loved the glamorous style of the 20’s and wanted to do a shoot that showcased that era, but in a modern way. So I partnered with a local dress company, Danielle’s Bridal, and we got two amazing models, Heather and Chloe, and my favorite make-up/hair artist, Hannah and two days later we pulled together this shoot. I was even able to get a blue 1937 Buick Special – series 40, suicide doors: This car is unique in many ways, one of the early designs of the legend Harley Earl, gangster style with the trunk back design. I loved the idea of having the color palette being red, white, blue and black. It seemed so classically American.

Professional Make-Up/Hair Artists-why you need them!

I hope that brides see this and see the importance of hiring a professional make-up/hair artist as well as a professional photographer. A professional stylist can create different looks for you, depending on the style you want. A professional photographer can do the same and has the experience and knowledge of their equipment, lighting and posing. The really fun part of the second shoot was that the first model Heather, wasn’t even recognized by her family and friends when she was done up 20’s style!! It is your wedding day, so ROCK it and look AMAZING!!!

These are the same models, Heather Meacham & Chloe Allsop and these pictures were taken less than a week apart. Hannah Rhees Goodrich was the make-up/hair artist.

Tara + Ben {formals}

This couple has pure chemistry. Literally I just have to sit back and watch them and capture moments. It is so amazing! We did a pre-temple shoot with the very talented David Perry and had a ton of fun. Both of their mom’s came and we had assistants and it was just a party. Tara got her gorgeous gown at Gateway Bridal. I almost didn’t get to this shoot because I had a flat tire on the way, but luckily my sweet assistant’s husband offered to switch me cars and took my tire to get fixed. We had amazing clouds and light, along with a rainbow and even a little rain. It was really, not to overuse the word, but really it was amazing. 😀
