Bridal Test Shoot No. 1
my first ever bridal test shoot! I’ve been wanting to explore the bridal space for a while, but with a more editorial, fashion-forward twist. So when the opportunity came to collaborate with a dream team of creatives, I jumped in.
We shot three looks, each one pushing the idea of what bridal can look and feel like. There were no fields, no veils blowing in the wind, just bold color backdrops, luxe textures, and a focus on styling that felt elevated, a little dramatic, and totally modern.
Look one was a sculptural gown with sheer winged sleeves and a low back, paired with deep red florals. Look two was a full satin moment — classic at first glance, but styled with black lace gloves and attitude. And look three might’ve been my favorite: a structured white suit with wide-leg pants and nothing underneath. Confident. Powerful. Still very much a bride.
This shoot reminded me how fun it is to build something from scratch with the right people. Huge love to Maggie, our incredible model, and the full team that brought it all to life.
