I’ve been working with Gilded Bridal in various capacities for yeaaaars. They are my pals, my rockstar small biz colleagues, my boardgame partners. This time I was tasked with getting updated photographs of their beautiful shop in downtown Raleigh. It’s filled with amazing wedding gowns, all of which I wish I could try on and run around the store. Dresses of every size, shape, variety – sleeves, no sleeves, black, white, ivory, lace, satin, etc. So many beautiful fabrics and accessories that it’s a dream to walk around it. Annnd it’s a dream to work with their staff, who are my favorite people. Zan, the owner, has been my friend for many years (actually over a decade now, I just checked, woo!) and I adore them. They’re a badass boss and a formidable board game opponent and they went on a safari and showed me videos of lions and it was great. Their amazing team is also incredible! Makenzie and Pamela are a ton of fun, hilarious, and easy to work with as a photographer (and as a bride!). As part of this small business branding shoot, I updated their shop photos as well as their individual and group headshots while we listened to a lot of U2 (Zan and I are big fans) and ran around doing silly things. I love this group of people and this unique and fun bridal shop!
