Vintage Tea Party: Bridal Session

Hello everyone! I thought I'd drop into your thursday and brighten up your screens with a conception that I worked on not too long ago. I would love to write and type a beautiful and extensive description of the whole idea, but unfortunately, my battery is about to die here while I am on the road, and I figured the photos were more important than my regular babble, so I will fill in the story later. For now, enjoy the photos from this styled shoot :) I hope you love the images as much as I do!

Team: Myself, Bailie, Form Over Function (who took care of the details/decoration you see)
Hair/makeup: Amy Chan
Dresses: Pretty In White
Hair accessories: Pin me Up Couture
Models Kaitlin Hawkins and Melissa Hanes

An Autumn Bridal Session: Meg + Emma

One cool afternoon in my favourite season of the year, Autumn, my friends and I packed our things, loaded the boot, and let rubber meet cement to embark on a fun conceptual project we had been planning the prior few weeks.

There is just something magical about Autumn. The whole world starts to change colour, and the metamorphosis brings about the most gorgeous warmth to the skin of mother nature. Deep yellows, fiery reds, cinnamon browns, and sun-kissed oranges fill the kaleidescope that is before our eyes. Maybe it is because I was born in this season, or maybe it is the delicate balance of cool breezes in a still lukewarm air, but I just adore Autumn in all its subtle magnificence.

So, when the opportunity came to partner up again with the fabulousness of bridal couture designers Pretty in White to shoot something special in this season, I was thrilled!! And what made it better, was that my beautiful friends Tracy and Paul of Eclektic were on the team to help turn this shoot into a reality :)

Here are my favourites from the afternoon :)

Starting off with the film set:

Models: Meg and Emma
Hair/Makeup: Roxy2Foxy
Flowers: Cannisia Florist
Dresses: Pretty In White
Props: Mine :)
Styling: Myself + Tracy :)

I LOVE FILM!!! :D Just the fact that you can shoot as is, and NOT edit a single frame is amazing. I love this medium to bits :) All photos below are not edited. Only the frame was added in photoshop.

Meet Meg :)

Meet Emma :)

And here is the DIGITAL set :)

We started off with some of the more ethereal pieces in Pretty In White's Celestial collection :)

And then moved to some bridal pieces later in the day :)

I love the following frames :)
