Grand Rapids Bridal Shoot



On May 16, it was my pleasure to collaborate with many local wedding artists in creating a bridal photography shoot. My lovely sister and roommate, Kara and Kristin, were my models, willing to do anything (including change into bridal gowns in the middle of Grand Rapids, QUITE impressive how we managed!) to get some great shots.

The dresses were generously provided by Renee Austin Weddings. They have a unique and beautiful little boutique in downtown Grand Rapids and were kind enough to let us borrow four amazing wedding gowns for the shoot.

The hair and make-up for the girls was done by the Heidi Christines Salon in the Centerpointe Mall in Kentwood. The stylist was friendly, fun, and did a wonderful job in making the already pretty ladies look fantastic!

The flowers were created by Modern Day Floral, who took into account all my suggestions and put together two beautiful and fun arrangements.
