When Crystal with Chez Wedd contacted me about featuring one of my photos on her blog, showcasing bridal sessions at the Lustre Pearl, a local favorite bar, I decided to revisit some of Heather’s photos. I’ve posted a couple of her photos on my blog in the past but never really gave the session the full display. There were so many amazing photo’s from Heather’s rock the dress bridal session that it was almost impossible to narrow down my favorites. Well here they are and I’m still so in love with these photos. This is still one of my favorite photo shoots to date and looking at them makes me want to get out and do more creative shoots like this one. It takes a wiling subject, a professional hair + make up artist, the right styling plus fabulous/interesting clothes and locations. The ever amazing Ellie Vixie performed her magic on the already beautiful Heather. We went old Hollywood glam for the first part of the session showing off Heather’s beauty and then went a little rock-n-roll for the second part of the session. I wanted Heather to look a little edgier and I dare say gritty yet still beautiful. Ellie translated the look beautifully. And let me tell you, Heather rocked the heck out of her dress! I would love to photograph a wedding at the Lustre Pearl. I think it would make the perfect venue for a smaller, more intimate wedding. My fingers are crossed that it will happen one day soon!!

A little rock the dress for your Friday afternoon. I really should blog the rest of these. Is she beautiful or what? Love this series of her. You can see a few other photos from another post here.

Hair and make up by Ellie Vixie.

You might recall that a while back I had a little contest giving away a free Rock The Dress session to an Austin bride. Well, here is a little sneak peak at Heather’s amazing session! She was so much fun to work with and I can’t wait to share more of these. They turned out crazy good!! Not only is Heather drop dead gorgeous but she has the best and most fun personality. Big props to Ellie for doing such a great job with hair and make up. Girl, you know you are my favorite!!
Location: Lustre Pearl – thank you guys so much for allowing us to photograph here.
