I am extremely excited to share this shoot! We had an amazingly talented team working with on this project together and the end result turned out to be beyond my wildest dreams! AND… a feature on Green Wedding Shoes!!!!! ELATED!
When the talented Melissa, from The Loveliest Day, contacted me with the idea for this shoot – all I could say is “yes! yes! yes!” My mind was already dreaming up all kinds of dress ideas… then she showed me the location. And all the amazing vendors. YES! YES! YES!
She chose the stunning ranch nestled in the Santa Ana Canyon called Star Ranch. She also rounded up Melissa’s amazing collection of furniture and details from Pow Wow Vintage Rentals. And brought in Megan from Honey and Poppies for the gorgeous colourful flowers! And the amazing husband and wife team of photographers Erin hearts Court. … and custom made bikes from Jeff Leighton! And, of course, much can be accredited to Melissa’s hard work and super styling!
I made this gown and called it “The Wings” gown because of it’s fluttery sleeves. The dress was made from silk satin and sheer vintage fabric and lace detail. I definitely had a blast wearing (& showing off) my creation in such a lovely setting!
The gorgeous dining table with all of Melissa’s styling touches and the super amazing chairs from Pow Wow Vintage!
Then I slipped into another gown I made. It’s a sheer gown (worn with a simple white slip dress) and detailed with vintage lace at the hem and top with antique gold studs. My amazing makeup and hair was done by my friend and amazingly talented artist, Emily Christison of Emily Dawn Artistry. (Thank you for making me look so dreamy!) The jewelry was provided by Sweet Evie (feather jewelry) and Jenny Dayco (ring, stone necklace, tiger stone earrings) – both dear friends of mine!
The amazing cake table!!! Erica O’Brien Cake Design provided us with the lovely cake!
The psychedelic LOVE favours!
The epic “after party” party shot. You know, after we drank all the moonshine and couldn’t stand up anymore…
The love birds and their getaway bike! My “groom-for-the-day”, Jeff Leighton, restores and creates custom bikes! He brought in this gem of a bike – a 1938 Knucklehead!
Much THANKS again to Melissa for putting this together! And Erin & Courtney for the amazing photos (& taking some of my favourite images from the day on film)! All of the talented vendors! And our “wedding party” players: Shannon Lee and Bryan Huber. Thanks for making the day super fun!
