Over the holidays, my cousin Heather (who you’ve seen in shoots before!) came to visit! She came across this amazing vintage, HANDMADE wedding gown at a thrift store, so obviously we had to do a photoshoot!!! We raided my mom’s craft stash for ribbon, glue, flowers, rhinestones & more to make a bouquet and then called in the lovely Courtney Baier to do her makeup, and at the last minute scurried to find a suitable groom – and my friend Collin quickly agreed to make his modeling debut! We even made him a boutenniere – notice how it was held together with a hair tie! Haha talk about DIY!! By the time we got to the location, the sun was fading very fast, but we were able to get a ton of cool shots. And you would never know that Heather & Collin had just met! I’m so lucky to have such photogenic family and friends!

Seriously, I wish I was as half as photogenic as my cousin!

That ROCK!  😉

I love this next set…a little behind the scenes action of Heather making Collin carry her dress! Just like a real bride and groom 😛

I can’t remember what was so funny but I love the laughing shots!

So regal.
