If I showed up to photograph your wedding and you told me that you planned to carry a parasol that was draped in tool and embroidered with the words “I Do” … I’d probably furl a brow, tip my head to the side in confusion. The thing I love about the runway, is it’s not supposed to be literal. At the Reem Acra Show, those parasol’s were the best thing I’d seen all year! In light pink and baby blue – heck YES! I often times do wish today’s modern bride would get more creative with what she wears on her head … just for the walk down the aisle. There are so many amazingly long and dramatic veils out there. Perhaps modern doesn’t always mean simple – dramatic is on it’s way back in! xo

If you’re a bride who’s on the hunt for that perfect Wedding Gown, then you probably know that last week was Bridal Market in New York City! I had the opportunity to capture a handful of shows and I can’t WAIT to share all of the Bridal Fashion STYLE with you!!!! One of my favorite shows to photograph was Romona Keveza. {Wasn’t I just talking about a gold wedding dress???} Romona featured her Evening Line and Couture Bridal Collection….rich with Gold and Jewel Tones, big juicy red lips and a sassy REVERSE french manicure. The Library at the St. Regis set the perfect tone, a truly SOPHISTICATED affair.
Last month I had a fun opportunity to attend and photograph the New York Bridal Market Week alongside my new friend, Vané from the Brooklyn Bride Blog. My favorite part of any show is when they let me backstage to capture some of the action. I love watching 25 people fuss around one girl to get her ready to walk. If you think about it, it’s a lot like a wedding isn’t it? There is a special dress, and a bunch of fittings, planning for the perfect hair, make-up, shoes and accessories. A VIP guest list, an extravagant after-party. And the big highlight of it all is when then they send the model down the runway (i.e. the aisle). Big smile, I LIVE for that moment! I can’t wait to photograph some of these gowns in a real wedding setting this year!
