I've been very excited to share the incredible experience of coordinating and photographing my very first bridal project. From start to finish, it was an adventure filled with creativity, collaboration, and, of course, lots of love.
It all began with a spark of inspiration and a vision to create something truly magical. I reached out to a fantastic bridal company Bella Sera, and together, we embarked on a journey to bring that vision to life. The first step? Securing the studio and finding our vendor team to collaborate with us!
I was so ecstatic when the amazing vendors replied back to me and said that they would love to hop onto this project. Each vendor brought their unique talents and expertise to the table, and watching them work their magic was an absolute delight. Our vendor team consisted of myself as the photographer, bridal company, hair, makeup, bakery, florist, rentals, charcuterie, posing assistant director, and models!
As the day unfolded, there was an undeniable energy in the air – a sense of excitement and anticipation that set the stage for something truly extraordinary. From the moment the models stepped into hair and makeup to setting up every location for photos, every moment was filled with joy and camaraderie.
Behind the lens, I was in my element – capturing the beauty, the emotion, and the sheer magic of it all. It was a whirlwind of creativity and inspiration, and I couldn't have asked for a more fulfilling experience.
But perhaps the best part of it all was the people – the incredible souls who came together to make this vision a reality. From the talented vendors who poured their hearts into their craft to the models who brought our vision to life with grace and elegance, it was truly a team effort.
As the day drew to a close and the last rays of sunlight filtered through the windows, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude wash over me. Gratitude for the opportunity to do what I love, gratitude for the incredible people I had the privilege of working with, and gratitude for the magic of love that brought us all together.
So here's to new beginnings, to creative collaborations, and to the magic of bridal bliss. It may have been my first bridal project, but it certainly won't be my last. I can't wait to see where this journey takes me next.
