Bridal Shoot at Vintage Motor Club


 After two months of planning and coordinating with locations, vendors, and models...the day finally arrived!  Much thanks to Erin L Hubbs for helping coordinate this amazing photo shoot!

The shoot took place at the Vintage Motor Club in Concord, NC.  This is such a unique and amazing space for weddings and events - all themed around vintage cars!


Our model, the beautiful Katie Ellis of Wilhemena Evolution, looked stunning in an ivory silk ballgown adorned with crystals, courtesy of Classic Bride and Formals in Davidson - girls, if you have not visited this store, it is a must see!  They have the most beautiful selection, and the service from Phaedra and all the girls at the store cannot be beat!

Katie's hair was styled by Brandy Church and Malorie Tucker from The Light Studio Salon in Cornelius.  The style was a modern twist on the classic chignon style updo, which resulted in a beautiful editorial hair style, but still wears well for the beautiful bride.

Her beautiful feather facinator was hand created by Pretty Things by Grace, using white and beige feathers, and accented with silk orchids.

For Katie's makeup, I created a smokey eye using traditional shades of champagne, charcoal, and black, and of course, enhanced her beautiful eyes with false lashes.  We balanced out her eyes with a gorgeous shade of rose lipstick, and a shiny gloss and peach blush completed the look.

Bite Me Cupcakes provided yummy props (which we all consumed after the shoot) which looked gorgeous, and also tasted delicious!

Thank you again to all the amazing vendors who made this photo shoot such a success!

Fashion's Night Out - Charlotte







I was so honored to be part of the talented team for Fashion Night Out, Charlotte 2010!  16 boutiques, over 90 models, and several hair stylists and makeup artists all came together to showcase Charlotte's unique fashion at the courtyard of NC Music Factory on September 9.  The backstage action was hectic and exciting, but our models really shined on the runway!  Congratulations to all involved for a great show!
