If you have been following my blog, you know I work for an incredible Bridal designer named Meagan Kelly. My position working with Meagan has led me to many different places and introduced me to many wonderful people.
This past weekend my internship led me to Charlotte, North Carolina for a photoshoot of our new bridal collection. For the past few month our design team has been working on a collection of pieces for a store called Savvy Bride. Our collection that will soon be available at Savvy Bride, consist of 15 different skirts & body suits. A bride will be able to mix and match the different pieces to create her dream gown. This option is more efficient not only in constructing the garment, but it also doubles the looks we can create within the collection.
Our photoshoot took place in Uptown Charlotte, around the Mint Museum. We had a total of 10 models and began the shoot around 11 am. The theme of the shoot was a romantic escape to the city. So many of our shots were in front of the city buildings and secret gardens hidden throughout Charlotte.
Throughout the process of the photoshoot, communication was essential to things running smoothly. Our team had to direct the models from hair and made up to being dressed in their correct outfits. During the shoot, the photographer had to direct the models on how to pose in order to get the best picture. Without strong communication the shoot could have gone very poorly and taken much longer to complete.
We ended up being short a model so I had to fill in last minute and found that strong communication is not only important to give but also to receive when not knowing what to do. I am not a model so I needed a lot of instruction on how to position my body and the gown so that we could get the strongest photographs. By being open to direction from the photographer and asking many questions, we were able to move very quickly through the shoot.
Overall, we had a very successful photoshoot. The pieces photographed beautifully and the images we took will be incredibly helpful when helping to brand and advertise the new collection!
