When a styled shoot has to be broken up into two parts (yes, there are TWO wedding gowns!!) — you know it was GOOD! It took the images so long to upload to SmugMug last night that I had to go to sleep and wake up in the morning for them to be finished. THAT GOOD.
Misty at Maya Couture is someone that contacted me a while back because I had worked with some of their brides, and instantly I was like oh my gosh I LOVE talking to her, it was so effortless and natural! She’s so down to earth and loves what she does, and talking to another person in the wedding industry who truly loves what they do- for the clients and not for the show and the money, that is a rare gem. Someone who treats them wonderfully and values each one and lives to see them happy, that’s exactly what I love about what she and I share together in this industry, so yes– I’ve grown VERY attached to this woman and her passion for bridal service!
I love that she named this shoot “Restoration Chic” — it’s perfect. All of the painted and vintage finished furniture, the use of color and natural elements like real magnolia leaves in the bouquet, so Southern and so classy! The invites are upbeat and modern but work perfectly with the wear-and-tear look of the other aspects of the shoot. There is a different gown and different design to Part Two so keep an eye out for that one :)
Thank you Elizabeth for assisting me! :)
