Inspiration from Sasha Chou Photography…

 We decided to do the shoot in the city’s East River Park, with the Williamsburg Bridge and the morning sunrise as our backdrop.

Our shoot featured many elements that most brides needing an inspirational boost can draw from. For example, the vintage dress being modeled in the shoot can appeal to a bride considering whether an heirloom dress can be made anew again.

Another idea that can be used for an inspirational feature is the beautiful floral crown adorned on our bride’s head. Budget and DIY brides are always looking for affordable alternatives to the pricey cathedral/double veils; so our floral crown can come to the rescue. This was created using a vibrant and bold red rose and balanced by ranunculus and brides protea intertwined amongst a vine of jasmine.

A special element for this shoot is the red shawl, which coincidentally ties in with the red of the bride’s bouquet, corsage and floral crown. It can add a special something to bride’s looking to incorporate the statement color into their wedding; even if it so happens to be red.

 Our lovely model was Taylor Dukes and our location was the Quail Hill Trailhead in Irvine, California. I wanted to shoot a beautiful bridal gown in a big open field because I pictured this beautiful bridal gown that is soft, romantic, with modern touches in an open field that was opposite of the couture gown. When I saw the gown on Taylor, it reminded me of a ballerina. So I chose the simple hairstyle of a bun with braids with a silver strip of lace added for decoration. The gown has so much texture to it that I didn’t want to take away from it. So the hair, makeup and accessories were kept simple. If you are wondering where the poodle came from, well a women was walking her dog and I thought it would be perfect to photograph with Taylor’s dress. I went ahead and asked the women if I can photograph the dog for the shoot, and she agreed. She was super nice and the poodle was well behaved! All in all, it was a lovely bridal shoot.
