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.

Wedding Artists

So much more than "vendors" (that always makes me think of candy bar machines or hot dog stands).
These are other professionals I have worked with and aside from doing amazing work, I have seen them operating professionally and dependably.
I highly recommend them!

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.

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)
