At the bridal show back in January I decided to try something new. It’s customary to raffle off an engagement session. However, I was really loving the Fairytale Portraits I had been creating and I decided to give one of those away instead. Well, as luck would have it, the winners were totally adorable and creative.
After my first conversation with Kassee I knew it was going to be great. Aaron and Kassee had dressed as a magician and assistant for Halloween last year. Kassee suggested the movie the Prestige as inspiration – one of my favorites! With so much visual imagery to work with, we began creating this shoot. It truly blossomed into a simple portrait to a full story about this “magic couple.”
I am so excited to finally share it with you but first a few shout outs. This shoot was truly a collaboration, and was made possible by a lot of talented people. Kassee brought along her collection of fabulous vintage clothing which made for some amazing details. Although they technically are the “winners” I owe a big thanks to Kassee and Aaron for being such amazing people to work with. I also couldn’t ask for more perfect locations, made possible by the Kern County Museum and The Fox Theater. I should also add, when I was searching for a theater to use I had some wonderful friends who are active in the theater community really step up and offer me a stage. I am always so touched when people come together to help create art! Chelsea Edge is responsible for Kassee’s fabulous hair and make-up. Last but not least, Coy Townson shot along side me and captured all the beautiful details while I was setting up the main scenes.
And now…
Here are some of Coy Townson’s beautiful detail shots:
