Beach Styled Shoot with the Savannah gown

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 bride wore pink-Brunch elopement at the park

So often we see weddings/elopements take place during the evenings and photos are always great at the 5 o’clock hour, but have you considered a morning elopement in the park, with that gorgeous morning sun?

Styled Shoot with Ophelia Portraits

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.

Inspire Forum 2019

I was recently joined with other Austin wedding vendors for the 1st ‘Inspire Forum’ in ATX. Engaged couples were invited to the beautiful wedding venue in Round Rock at the Lone Oak Barn and were able to ask questions, get a taste from caterers and bartenders, and see in person wedding dresses, floral designs and everything else you will need for the perfect ATX wedding.

I chose these two dresses to show at the event because they show variety and that there are endless options when working with a custom made bridal designer.

But they are alike in many ways too. They both are made with silk fabric and for that reason are more delicate, soft, and luxurious than typical polyester gowns. They both also use unique materials from the tye-dye draped piece to the embroidered rose appliques.
