Rock 'n Roll Bridal Shoot

/

You guys don't know how LONG I have been waiting to post this photo shoot....SINCE JUNE my friends! But now, I'm SOOOO excited to reveal all of the hard work that took place back in the 100 degree weather of Phoenix, AZ.

I was invited to style this shoot by the very talented photographer Jeanette LeBlanc. I also collaborated with Jeanette on Marie Antoinette, which came after our amazing grass roots rock 'n roll collab.

Jeanette assembled a team consisting of myself, Tina Burnham (hair stylist), Kayrene Kelley (leather designer), Lola Chevelle (model), Ella L from (Classic Cake Designs & Confections) and Patricia Eastwood (Wild Child Floral Designs). We basically knew that we wanted to create an unconventional style for the bride that still let beauty shine through. Leather, of course, was going to play a key role. =)

We hope you guys really like the photos! Let me know what you think!

You guys obviously know that I have a great appreciation for photography. The art form is integral to fashion's success. SO....Recently, I decided to take on the task of organizing a fun photography exhibit showcasing local, budding photographers in the Phoenix-metro area. The subject of the art work ranges from landscapes to people to fashion.

The event is in conjunction with Phoenix First Friday and will be showcased in a historic home that is a part of a local church called Day|Twelve on Friday, November 5, 2010 from 6pm to 10pm.

The photographers featured are Mike Olbinski, Tiffany Egbert, Dee Nichols, Rick Young, Stephen Lynch and Charith Norvelle.

Please come and take a moment to check out the exhibit, enjoy to some free food/drink and then mosey on down to see the rest of the art walk.
