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.

Zollinger {girls}

It is so fun to see sisters together since I am surrounded by boys all day long. I love seeing how differently they interact with each other. These cute girls just love each other. Their oldest LOVED getting her picture taken and was sad when we were done. Their little girl on the other hand had no interest in it and wanted to run around instead-which was fine because we got some really cute pictures of her running and being held hostage on her daddy’s shoulders 😀

Kim + Brent {wedding}

Kim and Brent met while competing on the BYU ballroom dance team. It is so beautiful to watch them dance together and I love that they both are aware of their bodies and because of that-they are so easy to photograph! I had done Kim’s brother’s wedding 3 years ago and it was so fun to see him and his gorgeous wife again. What a gorgeous reception! Kim and Brent held their reception at the American Fork Amphitheater. I absolutely love the color combination Kim picked of the peach/light pinks with the eggplant purple. GORGEOUS. Kim lived in Italy for a few years and they wanted it to also have an Italian feel. They had fire-oven pizza that was AMAZING, gelato from the nicest Italian company based right here in Salt Lake, and homemade recipes by family and friends. Their family and friends danced the night away and we ended the night watching them leave in their post-it covered car {which was so cute!}
