When I started my wedding business my daughter became instantly interested. Not for the attention to detail, nor the planning process or the gratifying feeling at the end of a successful wedding day. She became interested in the over the top flowers done by the likes of David Tutera, the new trend of brides wearing colored shoes from Jimmy Choo, the castle like venues, and of course the wedding dresses!
She started her journey looking through my wedding album and commenting how beautiful she thought my wedding dress was and when she gets married she would like to wear it on her wedding day. I felt a tear well up in my eye, isn't that every mothers dream? The truth is, I know in 20+ years, Natali, my daughter, will not want to wear my wedding dress. Not only for the reason that today, 8 years later, it is out of style, but who knows what it will be like in 20+ years. And Natali is a fashionista in the making. She likes to wear dresses regardless of the temperature, as long as the sun is out, then it is dress weather! To top it off, her shoes can not be scuffed and have to match perfectly, or you would think a travesty happened. So I have come to the realization that her sweet comment is sweet today, and something I will always cherish in my heart. With that, I wanted to capture this heartfelt wish from Natali and hold on to it forever. What better way then to capture it then through photographs.
The inspiration for the photo shoot came from the ever popular "trash the dress" photo shoots that are becoming the next big thing to some brides. It was a chance for Natali to wear her mama's wedding dress but also be her self. Natali was hanging from tree's, rolling down hills, blowing bubbles, running with a bundled up dress, and of course posing as if she were the beautiful bride herself. At the end of of the photo shoot, she did not want to leave or take off the dress!
The photography was captured by Carollo Photography. Abe was amazing how quickly he connected with Natali. Abe has a unique way of capturing kids looking their best when they are not even paying attention and these moments turn out to be some of the best pictures. I think her being in a wedding dress had something to do with it, but Abe brought out the true dimple smiles that we all love about
He captured for us a lifetime of memories that I will always hold in my heart; my little girl wearing my wedding dress. It really is every mothers dream and I have that dream captured. Thank you Abe and Carollo Photography for making my dreams and my daughters dreams come true.
Up next for Carollo Photography and Sarah Viera Event Planning & Design...a 2 year old birthday party! More memories to be made!
