Summer is my favorite time of year!  Gorgeous weather, lots of fun weddings to shoot, and new tear sheets to share.  Check out the latest Reinventing Beauty Magazine in CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens nationwide. Thanks so much to our amazing team of models and stylists who made these shoots a success!

Our fashion story was shot deep in an abandoned rock quarry.  Our fearless ladies hiked, scrambled up rocks, and jumped across streams to get to the perfect locations!

Some people say the Getaway Car is overrated… we completely disagree!

August 10, 2010 – 1:53 pm

In today’s economy, it makes perfect sense to be careful about how you spend your wedding budget. We have seen some really amazing and creative ways that our couples have saved money on their weddings, and encourage you to do the same! In that spirit, we think that some couples tend to overlook a few things that could provide a huge value for the money. One of them, without a doubt, is a stylish getaway car.

A getaway car is a luxurious, relaxing, and fun way for newlyweds to take a few minutes and enjoy each other’s company after getting married. Usually, the chauffeur will have champagne chilled and ready for you to sip on during the ride. What other day in life can you think of that would be a better excuse for such opulence?!? Yep, we are totally biased because a getaway car can also create a perfect atmosphere for sexy, romantic portraits!

Let the prom-goers keep their standard limousines. Instead, consider renting a classic limo or your favorite classic car.  Is your wedding going to be glamorous and ritzy? Go for a Rolls Royce.  Is your style more relaxed and casual?  Don’t tell me your fiance wouldn’t want to ride away in a 1976 SS Camaro or 1965 Convertible Mustang!!!  You’ll be surprised at how spending a couple hundred dollars on something usually deemed “frivolous” can truly add to your experience!

Check out this perfect example from a recent wedding we did!  Kira & Eric love old black and white movies and decided to rent a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow to show off their classic style. We really love how the images turned out– they ended up being some of our favorite romantic portraits from the day.
