Bridal Photoshoot

With wedding season coming up, Jen (my partner) and I have a wedding expo at Bel Vino Temecula Winery in March that we are preparing for. A couple of these photos will be featured on our postcards that we will be handing out to over 100 brides and we couldn't be more excited.

Recently I purchased a great Ebook from one of my favorite role models Stephanie Brinkerhoff. These two looks are from two of her three video tutorials. Purchase here I'm hoping she will make more videos! This is my version of the Sleeping Beauty look and the Rapunzel look. Unfortunately my Sleeping beauty model cut her long blond locks right before the shoot. So she had a super short red & blond bob instead and this is what I managed to do with it. One thing I learned about the Rapunzel hairstyle is that you have to have really long hair to get the look, the longer the better as it shortens as your braid it. My model Erin had long hair down passed her shoulders almost the middle of her back with long layers. Shorter layers in the front would give it a more loose romantic feel.  Hope you like it.
