There will be several of these posts I think, since I have so many gorgeous photos to share! This shoot was to showcase a few new designs from Amy Jo Tatum Bridal. What is so awesome about her work, is that she tries to use eco-friendly fabrics to construct her dresses. One of my favorites was made using a fine organic muslin - so simple, elegant, and summery. We’ll call this post part 1…

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…

I’m so in love with these boutonniéres by designer Easter Yu (aka Muscari)!
Here’s a little description from her website “Our boutonniéres are all constructed from the finest materials including feathers, dried botanicals, vintage silk flowers and ribbons”
She makes so many wonderful wedding accessories, besides these gorgeous boutonnieres, she makes nature inspired ring bearer and flower girl pieces, feather and flower hair pieces, and some rocking jewelry! You should definitely check out her website | Muscaridesign.com | and shop on Etsy.

Muscari was one of the Etsy collaborators to yesterday’s fashion shoot!

Today I had the wonderful priviledge of shooting dresses designed by Joan Shum. She makes such lovely, lovely gowns - so rich with texture, style, and craftsmenship! The awesome hair pieces and jewelry were from amazing Etsy artsits, whom I will be featuring on the next post. I will be posted many, many more images with more details from the shoot, but I can’t help post just a few here for now…
