BEACH INSPIRED . FALL WEDDING

 

 

with fall kicking into high gear I thought it a great opportunity to post a creative shoot that was done this time of year...just not this year :) 

 

this was a lovely wedding shoot inspired by the beach but in a fall setting:

shot on a reservoir as we are land locked here in the Rockies, makes it all the more interesting and we captured the beach inspired setting nonetheless

the  elements were in our favour to capture the soft lighting, the contrast of water and land, amazing texture from greenery sand and driftwood, and the nontraditional color palette for those wishing to step outside the normal conventional whites and creams of most weddings.so lucky to style a short hair bridal model as its not so common with bridal hair, and the DIY veil and hair accessory was fitting. the setting was in North Glenmore park in Calgary 

I loved the opportunity to work with

TARA WHITTAKER PHOTOGRAPHY on this,

FEMININE AND DRAMATIC IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS

  This photoshoot had the most perfect of conditions :
the location shot in Banff with the rocky mountains as a stunning and dramatic backdrop. the model was my client Anastasia, who I never tire of using as a hair and color model. the concept, photography and styling came from my friend, fellow collaborator of all things pretty and fun, and photographer TARA WHITTAKER. and credit for the beautiful make up seen on the model was JENNA ANDERSON who is such a talented makeup artist. this was an wonderful introduction to one another, and I look forward to more creative ventures.

              the concept of this creative shoot was to showcase vintage veils that Bonnie and Theresa of A VINTAGE AFFAIR have collected and showcase in their lovely vintage boutique.

they range in dates as far back as 1920's-1940's.   

 

  the prep-work and styling was done first inside a gorgeous suite in JUNIPER HOTEL in Banff national park. then we gathered our tools of the trade, and off we went into the heart of Banff townsite to find the backdrops you see here.
