Reception: Crowne Plaza, downtown Kansas City
I had a crazy idea to do an inspirational shoot in an old attic. One of our friends live in Waldo area in a really old house with an awesome attic. They agreed to let me shoot up there and so we did. I partnered with Haley Williams with The Yellow Peony. Haley makes custom headpieces, belts, veils and really any bridal accessory you would dream up. She is so talented and for this shoot she made some awesome new pieces to showcase. We went with an emerald and gold theme and wanted a very rich feel to the look of this shoot. It was a full day of hair and makeup and setting up and shooting. My poor model was freezing her tush off because it was so cold up there. After a 9 hour day it was done and totally worth it. Thank you to everyone who participated. I could not of done it without you, and I really appreciate you. Make sure to check out the credits below to see all vendors who participated. Enjoy
