Bridal Portraits | September 2010

Here are a few of my favorite bridal portraits taken by the extremely talented Jessica Vincent Cain of VK Fine Art.  She was a joy to shoot with and simply brilliant with location and light!  My dress is by Oleg Cassini and I made the necklace.  My gorgeous hair style (that only took about two hours and 32oz. of conditioner to detangle) was created and masterfully set in place by Clemente Javier. I did my own makeup that day...and my arms were crafted by hours upon hours of unforgiving Bikram Yoga.

 If you look really closely you can see that I am not actually wearing my engagement ring.  It was being altered so I wore my Great Grandmother's engagement ring instead. European cut diamonds in platinum, circa early 1900's...not a bad trade.

 The couch had come from my childhood home, it was my Grandmother Tisha's favorite seat in the house.  I can still see her laying with her feet up reading a book.  My Mom and I brought it with us all the way from Houston to this lovely creek bank in Salita.

I'd like to thank my Mom for always being so supportive and who made the whole experience fun and inspiring!

ANGEL

help me transcend
for the veins of
complacency
have no end
un-achievements
rock the porch of
a spirit who will not
leave-an empty room
to room searching
chasing name calling
phantom in the place
that played on ears
follow like
ice-blue irises
blood stained,
pupils dilated
not the rotten stone
I have waited
but whole and healed
of the world I knew
and castle ruins
I painted you into
