Incredible. Brilliant. Crazy. Amazing. Epic. I just can't think of the word. I left this shoot with an excitement I hadn't felt before. WHAT an amazing day.
Myself and some really great photographer friends arranged another photographers shootout this past weekend. Dan & Caroline are the brilliance that is Tinywater Photography. There work is stunning to say the least. Creative is hardly the adjective to describe them. They found this awesome opportunity to shoot at Preston Castle. The Castle, (little did I know)is in the small city of Ione Ca. A historic marvel of a place to go see. So here's what we put together:
13 photographers
5 models
3 dresses each, (traditional wedding, vintage and gothic)
A certified MUA, (make-up artist) with a team of 3
annnnd......a castle
The objective was to have fun, help the girls with their portfolios, network amongst the best in wedding vendors and up the inspiration bar by watching each other work.
Wanted send a personal thank you to Raquelle of "Image Provocateur" for making so much of the day possible. She has so magic hands. She was also responsible for bring these gorgoues girls to the shoot. Wow right? She also was the contact for having these AMAZING dresses for the girls to wear. To all the brides who visit my blog, a combintation of Raquelles magic and one of these incredilbe dress would make your big day a dream. Please check out their sites below:
