Earlier this month I had the tremendous honor of attending a workshop by one of my favorite photographers ever: Jasmine Star in Orange County, California. She is truly a blessing in not only my life, but in countless others I’m sure. I’ve always been incredibly inspired by her photography, but more so by her as an artist, writer and business woman. This woman has it going on and I am super lucky to have gotten to spend some time with her. She challenged all of us who attended with many aspects of our businesses and I know that we each took home a piece of the “Star” that shines so brightly in Jasmine. Thank you J for sharing all of your wonderful knowledge with me and the other workshop attendees. You are without a doubt, amazing.
While at the workshop we were blessed to have Melinda and Vern come model for us. They were married over a year ago and were willing to put on their wedding attire again to rock out a photoshoot. I had the hardest time picking favorites to blog about because they seriously ROCKED it.
First let’s start with talking about that amazing bouquet… the oober (yes, I know it’s correctly spelled uber but I like how it looks with the “oo”s- I’m a nerd I know.) talented Carissa with JL Designs made this incredible bouquet that you will get to see more of in this post. Be sure to check out her other work on her website – she is seriously talented!
I was seriously diggin’ Vern’s bow tie and mustache combo.
How incredibly gorgeous does Melinda look in her Monique Lhuillier dress? I LOVED it.
Are they a hot couple or what?
Melinda’s stunning hair and makeup were done by the FABULOUS Vivian Tran with All Made Up. Vivian is INCREDIBLY kind and sweet… she is such a pleasure to work with and not to mention, very talented.
I looooove this. Melinda, you are exquisite.
Hands down, my absolute favorite of the day. I love this shot because it means so much to me personally as it truly represents me as an artist. It’s definitely my signature look and I think Vern and Melinda display it beautifully.
Happy Monday!!!
