ROMANTIC ELEGANCE

In the words of Eva Satchell of Victoria Bridal Boutique: "This shoot has been playing in my mind for some time now and to finally be able to put this together was amazing! I was approached by local photographer Rebecca Carroll of Rivkah Photography and this idea came screaming out! We planned the theme and look which blended extremely well. Becca wanted to incorporate a West Coast flare mixed with Victorian Elegance. OK, so what does this consist of? Let's say trailing wild Ivy bouquets with pops of chiffon, handmade flowers matched with handcrafted headpieces laced in silk florals and crystal bling gems..As a store manager in a Victoria Bridal Boutique where the shoot took place, I handpicked two elegant Victorian Kenneth Winston Gowns screaming AMAZING! Not only did the models fit them perfectly, I feel they captured the true beauty we were aiming for. Our make-up and hair artists worked beautifully together bringing the ever so stunning models to the breathtaking point of perfection. The soft flowing curls to the pop of color in the eyeshadows brought our close up images that WOW factor. Becca our photographer worked closely with our artists to make sure the look and feel were coming to life. The cake was something I had envisioned and Passion for Cakes delivered! It brought our West Coast theme together. Being a wedding planner and decorator I had everything I needed to stage this shoot from couches to vintage cases right there in my showroom inside the boutique. Creating this look was so much fun as I love to make accessories such as belts, tiaras, and veils for clients, so this was right up my alley. Having such control of a vision and then bringing it to life with the photographer was magical. Becca was passionate about her work and knew what she wanted to capture. The images are truly breathtaking! The morning of the shoot I was clipping and collecting wild shrubs to create the bouquets and floral strands in the shoot; it just shows that with some creativity and a little time you can make something wild beautiful."
