We are so excited to say that we had the opportunity to shoot the cover and fashion spread for the latest issue of Saint Louis Bride Magazine! It just hit shelves this week so be sure to pick up a copy and peruse. I can’t thank Nancy Slade, Editor of Saint Louis Bride Magazine, enough for this opportunity. It was a really fun experience and everyone is so happy with the end result. We shot this back in May and since Kristie was having a baby and all, Kate stepped in and helped me out. (Speaking of Kate – more to come!) Shayna Laiderman, owner of St. Louis Wedding Consultants, was the shoot coordinator and did an amazing job getting everything together. We had a blast dress shopping together! Lisa and Lois (makeup and hair respectively) from Looks by Lisa made our beautiful model into an even more beautiful bride. My pops lent us his retro red bicycle and Shayna donated her red cardigan for the cover shot (which we shot in about 5 minutes as the sun left us for the day!) Madeline, our model from West Model Management was a trooper. The mosquitos were killer that day and she just continued to look like a happy go lucky bride on a picnic while multiple mosquitos were snacking on her! Oh, and the bouquets by Thetis at Luluthia Floral Design were to die for. Red peonies, feathers and all kinds of fun textures.
I don’t have images of the inside spread yet, but I did want to at least share the cover! It was a pretty amazing group effort. Thanks everyone!
