Styled Bridal Shoot

As many of you know I have the opportunity to see the wonderful Jasmine Star in DC a few months ago for a wedding photography workshop called The Fix. Ever since I stepped out of the room of the workshop my mind has been non stop with ideas and inspiration.

To get one idea out of my mind and actually accomplished,  I planned a styled bridal shoot.  What is that? For those of you that are not sure it is a photo shoot completely set up by a photographer. Everything from models, locations, hair and makeup,  clothing the whole "sha-bang".

Last weekend I spend the whole afternoon with the beautiful Kaly. (I'll be photographing her actually wedding in just a few weeks!! CAN'T WAIT ) We had 2 dresses, 2 locations, 2 bouquets and lots of ideas for the day. After walking for what seemed like 3 miles, getting our feet dirty, being attacked by bugs and wondering why there was a random rooster walking around I would say we go some pretty awesome shots.

Before you see any of the STUNNING photos I would like to send out a few thank yous.

Kaly- Thanks for being my fabulous model for the day. I can't to capture every moment of your special day! On a side note I have asked at least 3 different people if we eat roosters and I have yet to get an actual answer. Haha

Hakeem- Thank you for being my assistant for the day. And "finding the light" I hope you get back into photography soon!!

A special thanks to Julie Gondringer for allowing me to borrow her actual wedding dress.

Malone Flower Shop for the bouquets.

And last but not least... Erica from B&S Hair for styling Kalys hair.

ENJOY!!
