On Saturday morning I had the pleasure of collaborating with Liz Washer (makeup artist extraordinaire who did all of the hair and makeup) and Bancroft Bridals (supplied us with some stunning wardrobe options) on a Beauty Shoot. Below is a little preview from the morning, Kara and Alysse (each of the gorgeous models who joined us) were incredible in front of the lens. I can't wait to show you more later this week!
Springfield Marriott Rooftop Wedding :: Springfield, Massachusetts :: Styled Shoot
This shoot was published on Smitten's blog a while back (have you checkout out their gorgeous blog and magazine by the way?) but I thought I should share these photos with you here too.
My favorite piece or tradition that we incorproated into this styled wedding is the West African tradition of the tasting of four elements. During the ceremony the couple tastes lemon (to represent sour), vinegar (bitter), cayenne pepper (hot), and finally honey as the sweetness that the couple will experience if they weather the troubled times represented by the first 3 elements. It's a reminder that, once weathered, the hard times in any relationship can lead to and even enhance the beauty and love in it.
I love this modern, gold shimmering shoot and all of the talented vendors who helped in creating it. I hope that you do too!
