A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock ‘n Roll | Part Two

On Tuesday I gave you Part One of the bridal fashion extravaganza I shot for Sarah Beth. Today, we bring you Part Two. These two looks show the softer side of bridal makeup and fashion, and are more inspired by Anthropologie-esque, feminine 60′s and 70′s Grand Ole Opry singers and hippie, earthy Woodstock rockers.I think Sarah Beth’s vision came together beautifully, and I hope you enjoy these as much as we did creating them!

I love the romantic, peachy tones of this makeup look. Sarah Beth’s coworker Candace totally rocked it!

Sarah Beth found this vintage lacy yellow dress for super cheap, then added the ribbon belt and the golden bow brooch. UGH, love it!

p.s. We shot this whole set in about 15 minutes in the mall parking lot right outside the salon because we were rapidly losing light and it was almost dark out. I think we made it work, though!

Gorgeous!

This next set might just be my favorite. We were so lucky to be able to use Sarah Beth’s parents’ nursery, the Hewitt Garden and Design Center in Franklin, because the rain was POURING at this point and shooting outdoors would not have been an option. But regardless of the rain, the greenhouses were a photographer’s dream, not only because of all the stunning greenery, but also because the walls and roof act as a gigantic softbox, spreading soft, even white light all over our unbelievably adorable model, Elissa. (Seriously, though, you will want to take a spoon to her face and eat it, that’s how cute she is. She’s got the doe-eyed, sweet beauty of an Audrey Hepburn or a Twiggy.)

This was also my favorite hairstyle. I love the perfect “undoneness” of it… and the to die for shade of red with blonde streaks…. and those braids… ACK!

Did I mention she has that whole Kate Bosworth, one blue eye, one brown-ish blue eye thing going on? How cool is that!

I couldn’t resist playing a little. Maybe this processing looks hideous and ridiculous, but I kinda like it. :)

Thank you so much to ALL our models- Sammi, Meredith, Candace, and Elissa- and to Caity for whipping up some fabulous bouquets and assisting, and to Sarah Beth for dreaming up and bringing to life such a fantastic portfolio collection! It was a dream shoot, and I’m looking forward to many more collaborations in the future.
