// Old Money + Secret Garden Inspired

Feeling like a Disney princess in a rose garden interlaced with old money was vision I had for my next styled wedding bridal session – it came out as that and more! I reached out to Jen, who has modeled wedding gowns from AW Bridal for me previously as you may have recognized her! She adds the best balance of fun and editorial vibes to the session and I knew she would be available in short notice! The gown was – AW Bridal’s gown Reba is absolutely breathtaking with endless sparkling sequin, detachable sheer sleeves and off shoulder detailing. Reba features a corset bust and magical train. Jen’s hair and make-up was completed by the very talented Erin, from The Craft Collective, located in Midtown Reno. I provided Erin the opportunity to style Jen’s hair as she is the expert! She created a relaxed elegant half up do with cascading waves – It was absolutely perfect!

We got ready at my home where my husband watched over our baby daughter 🙂 Once hair and make-up were finished, off we went to the rose garden! It was a dreamy morning with a mild chill in the air, but the rising sun felt so nice kissing our faces! I brought my 35mm film camera along with my digital. I couldn’t stop capturing the gown as it glistened in the sun and the various textures! We wrapped up the session on a cement bench that was located in a shady section next to some pretty rock formations – it seems as though it is a fountain during warmer seasons!

I am so grateful to have had another opportunity to collaborate with AW Bridal. Wedding gowns can be quite expensive and for those brides looking for a budget friendly option, they are a wonderful choice! I love the various timeless styles that they have available. I am also grateful for having my first opportunity to collaborate with Erin and The Craft Collective, a salon that specializes in affordable luxury while prioritizing hair health as the foundation of all craft services. Erin has over a decade of experience and has honed her skills in grey blending and head massages.

Enjoy these digital + film photos as they transport you to another era! 🙂 Thank you for all your support!
