Couldn’t be happier to be reunited for a fashion shoot with my pals at Gilded Bridal. I’ve been friends with the owner Zan for quite a long time and we always have the best time. I’ve worked with a few of her models before and they’re all just lovely inside and out. They all tolerated me saying really ridiculous and stupid things for four hours and I can’t thank them enough. We shared a ton of laughs and a great afternoon. So happy to be back in the branding photography world and commercial fashion shoots are one of my favorites. Who doesn’t like photographing incredible women in beautiful dresses? Here’s a smidgeon of the pictures because I had an impossible time narrowing them down.

Always an absolute joy working with my kick-ass friends over at Gilded Bridal! Gilded Bridal is the best best bestest designer wedding dress shop in the area, owned by my former wedding client and friend Susan. We’ve had a ton of brides get their dresses here over the years, and every one of them has had a great experience, which makes me so happy! Susan’s incredible, and she just put together yet another awesome shoot which I feel privileged to be a part of. It’s so cool working with so many other local female-owned businesses in the area! Special thanks to our incredible team:

So thrilled to be asked by Gilded Bridal to photograph what was a ridiculously fun model session out at The Prettiest Pieces in Greensboro, NC! With talented models Rosie McVeigh, Rachel Atkinson, Candace Smith, and Gracie Kirkland, and with help from the awesome teams at Makeup by Ashley Mooney  and ZimZoom Photobooth, we took a bunch of photos of photographs showcasing the variety of gorgeous designer wedding dresses that Susan keeps in stock at Gilded (and if you want a peek at more from her store, check out this other shoot I did for her last month!). It is SO MUCH FUN to work model shoots, especially when you have talented and gorgeous women to work with who are incredibly adaptive and incredibly good at smiling for four hours even when you throw a bunch of glitter at them.
