Bridal Fashion Shoot | Etsy + Joan Shum

Wednesday, December 31, 2008 at 8:44pm

Happy New Year! 2008 was such an amazing year, and I can’t wait to see what 2009 has in store. I wanted to start the new year off with a bang and share a ton of images from a recent fashion shoot that Isaac and I shot. I had the most amazing team at this shoot! For some time, I’ve wanted to collaborate with amazing Etsy artists. There are some incredible couture wedding items handmade by talented artists on Etsy, and I am so excited to share some of their work with you.
I also want to thank our models Kaylin, Anisa, and Fred, who absolutely rocked, and our talented make-up and hair stylists Denise Empey and Jamie Stevens, who are both available for wedding day styling. You can view each individual’s shop by clicking the links below…
