    Meg Guess / Amy Kuschel Fashion Show

    Last night, I had the pleasure of shooting a Meg Guess Fashion Show.

    Here is a slideshow of runway images. If you are interested in the Amy Kuschel line featured, another line Meg carries of her insanely cool custom gowns, do yourself a massive favor and give her a call to set up a time to stop by her boutique.

    After the show, we had a little fun shooting some fashion editorial images of some of the models (images following slideshow).

    Congrats Meg! Amazing models, gowns and event!

    If you attended the show, I would love it if you left a comment so I know who stopped by.

    National Meg Guess Day

    Ok it is in my book anyway. Today is the 1 year anniversary of Meg Guess Couture boutique opening in MidTown OKC. She had been in business for a while before that but the new boutique has now been a gem in the city for a year now. This isn't just another vendor that I work with, Meg shares the same passion for quality, industry friendships and both personal and professional values that make her a joy to work (and chat) with.

    The following are some images from the last year and a half from when we have worked together from weddings to fashion shoots. Some you may have seen on here before, some are previously unposted.

    Meg, Congrats on such amazing fashion design as well as crafting a top of the line business to go along with it. Best Wishes for an even better 2009!




    My introduction to Meg came through my client Heather Hilliard Beaver. Here, she is showing off Meg's earrings and hair accessory flower.

    an image from Meg's Kenneth Pool Trunk Show earlier this year.

    The next several are from a wedding with the bride in a custom Meg Guess Gown. Check out how happy she is to see herself in her custom gown. This is one of my favorite memories from the year. Joanna was so over the top excited. As as guy, I caught a little glimpse of how worth it is for brides to get EXACTLY what they want for the wedding dress.












    a little wedding day fashion shoot!




    This bride (Abby Bova) just so happened to be in Meg's boutique when I stopped in one day. The rest is a pictorial history!!


    Look at how cool that veil is!!

    My most recent Meg Guess bride, Ashley Vaughn. She cracked me up at our consultation. She said she found me through hearing about me from Meg. She said, "I do everything Meg Says!!!"




    These last few are from a couple fashion shoots with Meg and Sharon Tabb a couple months ago. I have posted them before but I did a little re-enhancement.

    Meg, once again thank you for being so great to work with. And I wish you all the best in 2009 with all your huge endeavors!!!

    BRIDES: you owe it to yourself to go to this boutique and see for yourself her work!!

    Fox 25 OKC TV appearance.

    I had the priviledge to join Meg Guess and Sharon Tabb again this morning for their appearances on FOX 25 Morning Show. The show did several segments on fall wedding tips with today's setting being "elegant" at Red Prime Steakhouse. The environs looked amazing as did the models and dresses of course. More to come hopefully but here are a couple images from the quick shoot.

    (I hope to add the TV segment if I can get a copy of it)

    Megan /bridal fashion/ updated with new photos

    I have been dying to post these for a couple months since we shot them. Megan and Jarad had their nuptials on Sat so I can now!!

    I was a beautiful but windy day in May when we shot these. I think Megan pulled off the wind-in-the-hair-model-thing quite well! You fashion photogs in Holllywood who rent big fans for the same effect, just come here, it's always like this. :)

    I'll be blogging their fairy tale wedding in the coming days.



















    This last one we wrapped in a gorgeous Roma Moulding for the reception. Stylin' !

    Tara // bridal fashion

    At Tara & Craig's wedding last Friday, a friend jumped up to the mic after a few toasts, (after starting with "let's all get crunk in this place tonight" -HA HA :)-He said Tara was "like the nicest person on the planet." I have to agree. She and her family have been a joy to work with for the last year for planning, engagement and bridal shoots. As you will see below, Tara also happens to be stunningly beautiful.
    Here is one preview image from the wedding (more to come in the next 24-48 hours)



    and one of my all time favorite bridal fashion shoots.
    We had the wonderful fortune of shooting at Bob & Sharon May's residence in Gaillardia (family friends of the Knights) and then up to the Clubhouse.

    Enjoy them and at the end there is a surprise!!!





























    Now for the surprise! A new look I am experimenting with...

    The last two are my first ever posted images using textured layers. The first one is a texture I captured the other day just around the corner from my house. The second is from the exterior walls of the clubhouse she is in front of.

    What do you think of this new addition to my style?

    Must give credit where it is due...I was inspired in the texture idea from the amazing Jesh de Rox. Do yourself a favor and experience his site.

    Ashley's Bridal Shoot

    We shot these just a few days before the wedding at The Colcord Hotel. The staff there has continually been so accommodating and helpful. What a great place! Go stay there! Or use it for any wedding events. Ronda is the new events director (who I just met) and seems to be great to work with.

    Tara's Bridal Photos

    We shot these back in October and I have been really looking forward to showing them off. We also produced a Bridal Fashion Book (you'll have to ask Tara to see it) and of course a beautiful custom framed print for the reception. I am so satisfied with the great hand crafted companies I have found to produce such great products.

    here's just a few...ok, 8 few.
