Bohemian Photo Shoot

These latest photos come from the recent shoot that was styled by Kelly Oshiro and beautifully photographed by Kirsten Ellis of Beaux Artes Photographie. This shoot was also recently featured on greenweddingshoes.com . Both of these gowns are from one of my earlier Collections and my inspiration at the time was "vintage Hollywood modern". The first gown is a lightly hand beaded silk chiffon with a very organic flow. The second gown is satin with a open lace back and lace applique along the very sexy neckline. Both gowns are still available at the Salon.
Enjoy...

Rainbow Photo Shoot

Event Designer Kelly Oshiro, whom I work with quite frequently, contacted me a while back to see if I would be interested in another one of her photo shoots. Of course I said yes, as I know that her image and design essence really showcase my gowns beautifully. Photographer Kirsten Ellis, of Beaux Arts Photographie, has a great eye for composition and lighting and always makes my gowns come to life as well. This shoot was picked up by brides.com, but these images are the extras of one of my favorite gowns that were edited and not shown, so I wanted to share them with you now...enjoy.

Fall 2010 Collection Preview

Thank you to everyone that attended the Collection Preview! It was nice to meet new Brides-to-be, see old friends, and make some new ones. Among some of the attendees were Cynthia and Kelly of Kelly Oshiro Design, Katrina Centeno of Calligraphy Katrina, Noelle Arias of getmarried magazine, Designer - Vanessa Louise Marie, and writer Emily Pedraza.

We also had our special Brides-to-be joining us for champagne and a first look at the Collection before it's reveal to the public. I was overwhelmed by the compliments and very excited on the amount of great feedback that I received for all of the gowns. A very special thank you to David Kim for documenting the evening and all of my gowns. So, without any further ado, here are sneak peek pics of the Fall 2010 Collection...all are now available at the Salon, still individually handmade right here in Pasadena!
