This session started with a vision.  Danielle loves (understatement) Marilyn Monroe and the concept was some Marilyn inspired bridal.  We were working fast because we weren’t sure how long we’d be able to have the hotel room for but both Danielle and I were thrilled at the result.  The reason for the shoot: Danielle and her husband Brandon’s 1 year wedding anniversary and she wanted to present him with these beautiful portraits in an album.  She looked stunning (just like every other time I’ve shot her) and the lighting was perfect in the glamorous suite with floor to ceiling windows.  We had so much fun kicking the shoot off in her wedding gown and shot a light-white look on the bed and later moved to the look in the antique tone, inspired by some photos Danielle found of Marilyn.  We wanted to make the shoot our own and it was just that.  

Here is a very small sampling from the bridal session…

Loved this series of Marilyn inspired shots…

The next two were my favorites…

The boudoir shots came out absolutely stunning (not shown).  I had my off-the-camera eyes, Lynsey, helping to keep a close watch on the look and positions to keep this small series tasteful and flattering.  She styled and assisted keeping us moving and lookin fab.  Thanks Lyns! 

We had a great time together producing some great work …and learned that food and drinks are a must-have on these shoots from now on!  

If you’re interested in a session prior to your wedding , just after, or for a wedding anniversary give me a call!  This was such a beautiful gift to give and I was thrilled to work with Danielle to bring her vision to life.
