Now that I am back in Florida for the last almost 2 years, a beach styled wedding shoot seems fitting and overdue!
Take a trip with me to Jacksonville, Florida to see the Savannah pink silk gown amongst the rocks of the beach, and the beautiful florals of Fortanelli Floral captured by Laura Perez Photography of Jacksonville.

The Dewdrop gown may sound familiar but I updated it recently and wanted to re-introduce her. She was photographed by several photographers at this styled shoot so these are just some of the first ones I got back from Ericka Geier Photography, more to come!
The Dewdrop gown is made with seaweed-style coral sequin stretch fabric, nude knit lining (bodice), silk chiffon, and silk charmeuse. She was designed for the modern bride who loves comfort, pink, and sparkles. Perfect for a beach wedding, a modern downtown wedding, or a pink modern elegant wedding at Houston’s Lux Vita. (see below)
Changes made to the Dewdrop gown:
Added silk chiffon ties at the center back to hold the dress on better because of the deep V in the front and back.
Added a zipper at the center back so it can fit more models/brides. (Pull-over style previously because the top is stretchy)
LOVE the pink velvet chairs and crushed pink velvet table cover. Next Chapter Weddings is amazing at styling weddings.

Edited photos are back from Erin when she photographed the Vegas dress in Vegas!
I had the pleasure of working with Jay from Ophelia Portraits over the weekend and I’m in love with the results!
Her approach to photography is different from many of the photographers I have been working with recently so it was great to see my dresses from such a different perspective.
I am not fluent in photography lingo but as an outsider, I can tell you her pictures look like vintage paintings, take a look for yourself. Ophelia Portraits website.

Jay not only photographed our gorgeous model, Payton Gisel from MAZZAmodels, but she also did the flawless makeup!
Those gorgeous locks are prepped by the talented hair designer, Sarah Lund.

Gowns Audrey Gown and the Savannah Gown
Photographer Erin was looking for a fun elopement dress for her styled shoot just a month ago and I took on the challenge of creating a new dress specifically for the occasion!
Meet the Vegas dress!
This dress is made mostly from a refurbished vintage wedding skirt that I was gifted from a client. I did not have much time, and shipping during COVID has been hit and miss, so I had to work with what I had, but it worked out perfectly, so no regrets!
Cute couple, Hayley and Bryen rockin’ these looks!
