As creative beings, sometimes we need a day to just let our imaginations run wild and explore new ideas. I’m forever grateful for the group of wedding vendors that I’ve become friends with throughout the years.

I’ve been giddy since this shoot ended, because these images are some of my favorites. When Ashley of Midwestern Bride reached out with the opportunity to photograph a couture Millia London gown, I couldn’t say no. How fun to have the chance to shoot something other than white!
