Getting Glossy!!



I have been waiting on pins and needles to see the pictures from the Glossy "Bridal" issue and was finally able to see them today. I absolutely love them. The recent "snow day" and the chill in the air actually reminded me of the day we met at the picturesque Barr Mansion for this shoot. I know, it has been a mild winter and I do feel spoiled, but this January day was absolutely freezing, not made any more mild by the whirling wind. But, the crew was a tough bunch (especially photographer Deborah Cannon) and the poor models were pros and smiled away. Seeing it now makes me wonder if I am mistaken and this really was a beautiful spring day.

For this photo shoot the goal was to make the bride and her party look like the real deal. The direction I took to achieve this, is as I would with most weddings. The hair for the "bride" was very soft and elegant and the goal was to let it feel special and stand out from the wedding party without taking away from the gorgeous gowns. For the "maid of honor" we did a simple side ponytail and for the other "bridesmaids" we went for the perfect bun! Everything told a story but no cookie cutter looks for these beauties. I couldn't have done it without Mariana Meredith and Cassandra Matthews who were instrumental in helping me create these looks! This shoot was particularly special for me because I have the pleasure of styling many brides each year and this year I, too, will be a bride!

Marques Harper and Elena Garcia chose the most elegant gowns and Evie Evan created perfect bridal makeup that allowed the models to truly shine.

The entire shoot was fabulous. To check it out first hand go pick up a copy of the latest Glossy! To view the online version you can click on the images below.
