Glitz and Glamour Styled Shoot: Part Three

November 16, 2013

Time for our final installment!

Glitz and Glamour Styled Shoot

Finally, time to show off our models! All three of these ladies have posed for me before, and it was a pleasure to work with these great girls again. Karie has been one of my favorite models for a bit, and she was excited to work on this project with me. As the project idea evolved, we decided to get Ashley and Lauren in on it too. So as a new twist on the traditional styled shoot you usually see, with a bride and a groom, we decided to throw in the bridesmaids instead.

Though our bridesmaids did their own hair and make-up, we've got to give the credit for Karie's to Latesha at I GOT FACE Cosmetic Concierge. The artists did a wonderful job make that rock-like, glam attitude come through that works so well with Karie's look. Latesha was so kind of give us a little more info on what she did for us... "Because I GOT FACE is a cosmetic concierge service that brings the GLAM to you, myself along with hairstylist Elliot Yared, of Rubies Salon provided a sexy and sultry look on the model in hopes of visually encapsulating a night to remember. I used MAC pigments to create a bright and bold smoky eye to compliment a mauve nude lip on our model. And when it came to styling her hair, Elliot used primarily Surface Products to mold her “messy masterpiece”. When we moved on to styling the ladies so that their accessories would speak in volumes the way their unique bridesmaids gowns did. Once we worked our magic behind the scenes, the photographer was ready to begin bringing her vision to life. Shot, after, shot after shot… we were inspired. Art was indeed imitating life on set. So whether you’re a more traditional bride-to-be or bride who likes to walk on the wild side, we can give you the FACE of your dreams for an extraordinary ceremony that will be picture perfect." (For booking information please contact Latesha Lipscomb)

The sparklicious dresses (yeah, I think that made up word describes them best!) were phenomenal and the girls really rocked it. We did a few of Karie in a white wedding dress (as you saw in our last post), but it wasn't working with the vision. Not to mention her long legs were perfect in that short silver skirt! We used dresses by Badgley Mischka and Scala (provided by the lovely ladies at Renee Austin Weddings), and they were phenomenal.

Mixed with the gorgeous bouquets from Events by Ludemas, I think we can definitely say that the shoot came together wonderfully! It was a blast to take the photos and it was a pleasure to work with all the great vendors and, of course, our beautiful models. Thanks all!
