I have been photographing photo sessions on my parent’s property for years, it is where my studio is. My best friend got married here last summer, and because I was the maid of honor, I didn’t get a chance to shoot her wedding. Ever since last September I’ve been planning a stylized photo session at the Bel Air! It is gorgeous here in May and my handsome brother and his beautiful wife just happened to be coming for a visit! It is with huge gratitude and thanks to Theresa Akers, owner of Celestial Selections bridal boutique, that I actually had a gown for my model to wear! If you have ever been to Celestial Selections, then you know they carry all the top dress designers, and a huge selection of gowns. Many of my brides find their dream dress at Celestial and I recommend them to everyone! The staff is sweet and helpful, they work with an amazing alterations lady, and the entire experience is an enjoyable one. My models were first styled in a chic hipster type of fashion, next we tried out a bohemian flair, and finally the classic look. The flowers are peonies out of our front garden (you will see the pink peonie bushes in the last few images). Thank you Jake and Christine for hanging with me!!! And thank you to Theresa! I’m looking forward to many more beautiful occasions at the Bel Air! Cheers! xoxo, Emma
