I am still in awe of how everything fell into place despite a few obstacles along the way.
Debbie and I met at one of our Tuesday's Together meetings (a local chapter of
Rising Tide Society) about a year ago. Later on, she photographed my anniversary session and we started chatting about getting together one day to shoot and learn from each other, both being Nikon lovers :-)
After a busy fall and holiday season, we were finally able to sit down and start planning. We bounced around a few ideas as to the location, theme, and so on.
In the meantime, during one of my shopping trips 🙄, I came across this absolutely stunning dress by
Badgley Mischka and I just knew this was the dress we would design our shoot around.
I reached out to a few of my wonderful and super creative friends who were generous enough to dedicate their time, effort and their creations to make this shoot one of a kind.
The weather was not on our side that day- we initially were hoping to shoot outdoor at a park but freezing rain made that impossible. Thankfully,
Jacqueline let us move our shoot to her new bridal atelier. I honestly believe it all worked out that much better.
Modern glamour is what I think about the look we created.
Jennifer Weil of
Style Concierge paired the sequin dress with white fur and silver stilettos, and it was a perfection!
Hair and makeup by
Jacqueline Cicala could not have been more gorgeous!
What about the flowers???
Kerry Patel is truly a floral design genius! I was blown away by her stunning arrangement.
And let's not forget about the invitations- Patty Gibbons of
Little Dress Paperie and her amazing team created this beautiful suite especially for us. Incredible!
Last but not least, a huge thanks to my lovely friend,
Aleksandra, who has been my muse and has always made herself available for me and yet another shoot!
I am beyond grateful for the amazing team who made it all possible on such short notice!
Thank you! Thank you!
