So honored to be featured on the incredibly beautiful Belle Lumiere this morning! Come enjoy ‘Lace + Longing’ on film, and take a moment to enjoy the thoroughly gorgeous site that is Belle Lumiere Magazine to see more of the incredible work they feature. Proud to be in such good company! XOXO
It’s finally here, and it’s so beautiful! Unadorned Magazine V.2 Monarch is out + overflowing with avant-garde bridal content. The mission of Unadorned is best said through it’s letter of intention:
In our industry the bride-to-be is regarded as Queen. Each summer we work studiously by her side and come snowfall we are back to the drawing board, learning and innovating new ways to impress her. An integral part of our strategy as wedding professionals is to generate fresh ideas that inspire and captivate her through beautiful imagery. As Wisconsin’s first print publication to feature ad-free, avant-garde bridal content, Unadorned Magazine strives to be an essential resource for the inspired bride and the best platform for creative wedding professionals and entrepreneurs to artfully showcase their innovative ideas. This issue of U/M features four leading ladies, each exemplifying distinct personal style. These images are brought to you by a selection of the finest wedding professionals in Wisconsin.
The team on my shoot was incredible and I hope you love seeing all our work. I am so excited to share these images soon; for now you can check out the magazine’s website + order a copy! You can also find Unadorned V2 locally around Milwaukee, throughout Wisconsin + in select Third Ward businesses including The Journeyman Hotel.
