More photos in Bridal Shoot Set.
This, definitely, is not your everyday bride. A little behind the scenes from our Bridal Photoshoot at the Evergreen Brick Works...
Our model actually found her funky bride's dress at a thrift store and bought it figuring it'd be useful one day (she was right!). And oh what a dress, it's so eighties-retro-awful that it's awesome! I mean, check out the 'wings' on the shoulder! For this shoot, we decided to go with some crazy make up and hair - to match the dress of course.
The hair being built, one strand at a time.
Close up of the hair creation - yes, those are feathers.
There's Sora, working on Roxane.
And here's Jen, doing some touch up on location.
That's me! Thanks, Jen, for taking this pic.
My two favourite hair and make up girls.
Oh and going with the thrift theme here, unless you are doing a magazine photoshoot with budget of a few thousand dollars, you'd obviously want to try to keep the expenses low. Especially when doing TFCD shoots. Don't underestimate the Dollarama! For this shoot, those black beads you see in the model's hair and around her bouquet (I think she also wears it as a necklace in some shots) were found in the Hallowe'en section - 3 for $1.00. The dried up flowers, also $1.00. The ribbon around the bouquet were leftover from some X'mas supplies and the pack of feathers, another dollar. So, that's the Photoshoot-on-a-budget tip of the day - visit a dollar store. Lol. Just make sure you choose "tasteful" items and props that don't actually look like you paid a dollar for them. Finally, once you start shooting, if you find that the props aren't quite working out as you envisioned, do yourself a favour and toss it. Hey, it was only a dollar!
That's it for the behind the scenes. Don't forget to check out the final photos on my Flickr page here. Also, if you haven't already, find me on Facebook and become a fan to keep updated with my latest shoots! See ya.
