vive Paris!

Paris here I come! I was asked by Robert and Kathleen Trensky to join them for a photography seminar in Paris! We will be shooting over the course of two days. The shoots are being coordinated and styled by Candice Dowling of Jubilee Events with the assistance of a French event planner Kim Petyt of Parisian Events. There will be two shoots over the course of two days. We will be shooting in some amazing locations, from an aparment with a balcony overlooking the eiffel tower, to Montmarte, to a quaint little vineyard.

Below is the inspiration pulled together by Candice for the shoot. The feel is all white on white with red accents coming from the surrounding and little details. Click here to see an enlarged version of the board.

We are using gowns from Modern Trousseau's latest collection for the shoot. Below are two images that inspired Beth for the fashion. There will be lots of texture in the gowns and lots and lots of layers of fabric...yummy!

Stayed tuned for the finished product! Au revoir!

funky and fabulous

The talented photographer, Matthew Grazier recently hosted a photography seminar in Boston for the top photographers in New England called Inspire Boston 2010! Matt graciously asked us to style the model that was used for the seminar, and we are thrilled with results!


Every bride's attire for her wedding day should reflect her personality and these photos are a classic example how to do that!

I love this shot! It is so Lady Gaga gets married !!!

Check out the amazing feather lashes by Joya beauty!

An amazing company called Galvanized Headwear created this adorable headpiece for the shoot.

This quote says it all! Great job Matt and team!
