I've been working with Susan, the owner, wedding and event planner of Circle of Events for her 2013 Bridal Campaign. We've had a great time with casting, scouting and finding the perfect pairing to represent the all american wedding parties. We picked the perfect couples, completed fittings and are now working on our mood boards this week. We have so many amazing vendors involved as well who are going to make these 4 lovely couple's "generic" wedding bliss come true. The sets are so adorable, it makes me wish someone WAS actually getting married. Decor will be by the amazing Dong, owner of "My Decor" and photography will be done by the lovely Youa Vang, destination wedding photographer from Montana. We truly have people flying from all over the states to be part of this shoot.
We will be shooting plenty of behind the scenes on the day of the shoot (November 7th) so make sure you tune into my facebook page for on set behind the scene photos!
