The Weddings: Gia & Dallas Part 1 (Glamorous Bridals on Rodeo Drive)

About a week before her wedding she had a vision. A vision of herself, fully decked out in her bridal gown and strolling down the most glamorous street in America, Rodeo Drive. Never mind that it would be almost impossible to squeeze into her wedding day timeline a little jaunt to Beverly Hills on a busy Saturday afternoon, navigating through traffic, crowds of tourists and the pesky “No Shooting on Rodeo Drive Because It’s Private Property” rule. She was determined and honestly, I was squealing inside like an excited teenage girl. After all, she was the bride and the bride should always get what she wants (and it helps when it totally is what I want as well!)

Well, I can say that beautiful Gia, not only attracted crowds of tourists clamoring for her photo, but we stopped traffic as well. BEST.IDEA.EVER. I love when my brides get creative and think outside of the box on their wedding day. It makes things fun, interesting and of course, some awesome photos of a wedding day adventure.

So many fun photos to post from the quick 20 minute bridal session, that I figured it deserved it’s very own blog post. After all, its RODEO DRIVE, people…

Dallas made sure Gia arrived in style in a cream colored Rolls Royce…

Loved this shot my second shooter, Shauna got while I was getting the shot above

Always go shopping with a shopping buddy…

Gia, you are STUNNING!

for photographers: part three~ breaking up is hard to do

I’ve never experienced a break up. I had one “boyfriend” in high school for 6 days. I broke up with him after he tried to kiss me and I realized I really wasn’t into him at all. Like in an “Ew, gross” kind of way. Then my husband came along.

Even still, I know the agony of a breakup. I’m a TV-aholic and I read voraciously (Time Traveler’s Wife anyone?) I’ve channeled the angst of all the characters of The OC, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place (the 90′s version), and Gossip Girl. I KNOW my teen soap opera angst, internet. And so, I dug deep and tried to be a conduit of heartache and misery to my models. Here is the final installment of the concept shoot:

Couldn’t decide which I liked better…so I put in both!

And speaking of “The Time Traveler’s Wife” – I fell in love with the movie poster and tried to recreate it. Unfortunately, we were unable to do this till about 111:00 at night and so did not have the proper lighting. Plus, our models were troopers and exhausted. Will try again soon.
