desert bridal shoot | jen mcken photography

Courtney literally pulled over and asked a random guy, “Excuse me, how do we get to the desert?!” We cracked up laughing in the back seat….Vegas *IS* in the desert!! What we were really trying to do was to get out of the city so that we could get more landscape less big city lights….and we eventually…

Whitney packed her dress inside of a small suitcase….with one of those suction bags! haha! It was hilarious watching her open the bag and just like that “POOOF” out comes the dress!  She was married back in October and so since we were looking to do a shoot in Vegas we recruited her-she’s Courtney’s sister…

styled shoots -vs- REAL weddings : what brides should know | southwestern, pa photographer

Lauren Jenkins - WELL PUT!

Thank you so much for this little nibble of transparency. I think so many people get caught up in the magic of pinterest, fantasy and perfection, that it’s disappointing for them to look around at their wedding and be sad by how imperfect things are. But that’s life.

I have had Pinterest Brides apologize for not having certain things at their weddings that they wanted to DIY from their boards, or apologize for not looking the right way.

I have had to start adding a verbal disclaimer to our client meetings when people say they love some of the concept work I’ve shown them to make sure they understand that things were done under ideal situations, which might not occur on their actual day… though we do try to make it happen.

Anyway, thank you again! Well said.
