A Bridal Soiree: An Evening of Love and Glamour

Last Friday I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to photograph my first bridal fashion show (or any fashion show for that matter). I teamed up with some wonderful local vendors to photograph An Evening of Love and Glamour at Kevin Taylor's at the Opera House. The event was put on by Flawless, Timeless and Blue. Here are a few thoughts on the event...

There were quite a few different vendors at the event, but only a few were participating in the fashion show. I was brought on specifically to photograph the first portion of the show, which consisted of ECO-Bridal Gowns, NM Designs and Boutique de Bijoux. Andrea with ECO-Bridal had the vision for how her gowns should be displayed on the runway and kept everything rolling along during the hours leading up to the show. Natalee with NM Designs provided all of the headpieces and veils and made sure that they were all paired with the correct dresses. She also made sure that all of the dresses fit the models and provided last-minute alterations as needed. Katharine with Boutique de Bijoux paired all of her beautiful jewelry with the appropriate gowns and also staffed the vendor table for these three vendors so that potential customers had a friendly person to talk to. Hair was taken care of by Trouble Salon and last-minute make up duties were done by Cherry Creek Divas. I can't leave out Phil Peralta with Simply Entertainment for DJ-ing the event and keeping everyone entertained throughout the evening.

After hours of preparation and hard work, the fashion show was over in a matter of minutes. Everyone who was involved in the show did a great job and the models, gowns, veils and jewelry looked beautiful! I'm proud to have been a part of such a great production and look forward to working with some of the wonderful people I met at this event again in the near future.
