This shoot was so fun, especially because we were able to get many different vendors involved. These three beauties are sisters! You may recognize the eldest, Nicole. She’s one of my 2009 brides. Nicole & her sisters + mom work at/manage a dress store in Provo, Allyses’s Bridal, so ever since Nicole got married I knew I wanted to shoot her again in some of the stores dresses. When she told me she and Glen were off to Texas for law school soon I figured it was now or never.
SO the girls picked out the dresses from Allyses’s Bridal, the hair & makeup was done by Flavia with Versa Artistry, Studio Stems donated the flowers, Whimsical Headbands added to the pot, and Whimsical owner/designer Jenny Hansen pitched in as my lighting/creative design assistant. (Links to these vendors provided at the end of the post) She totally spoiled me and now I don’t know if I ever want to shoot without her again. I think the collaborative result is stunning. I’m SO very excited about these images. One day I would seriously love to own a formal dress store. I LOVE dresses, getting dressed up, and all that goes with it. I just wish I had a reason to get dressed up again. But I get to live vicariously through my brides, so all is well.
Tomorrow I’m shooting Suzanne & Cameron’s wedding and I can’t wait. After tomorrow I’ve only got two weddings left for the year and then it’s time to start thinking about getting ready for Hazel to join our family.
YEAH!
