I’m honored to share the cover of the recent issue of the Real Weddings magazine Summer/Fall 2013. A big thanks to all those involved to help make this shoot successful, as it was a team effort. I had been asked to shoot the cover last year and was excited to scope out the venue, The Three Stages at Folsom Lake College, Harris Center for the Arts, with the lovely Wendy Sipple, the editor of the magazine prior to committing. What’s encouraging is that we photographed three real brides (not models) who had been selected during the bridal magazine cover contest. One of three brides who had been selected for the three girl cover is actually one of my 2013 wedding brides, Angel Kang. All three girls were pleasant, even since much was expected of them in such little time. If you look inside the magazine, there are many other photographs from that bridal shoot, which I can’t wait to share as well!
A big thanks to the whole team of people who were involved in the shoot, which are listed below, and of course, Wendy Sipple and her hard working team!
