scouting

For this wedding, featured today on Style Me Pretty, I was asked to suggest a waterside location so that pictures of the couple could be taken on the way to the reception site. I spent hours driving around pondering our best options. When I found this path leading to Cedar Lake, I knew it would be sensational at sunset and just the right location for post-ceremony pictures. I even had to fight for it, as my clients were worried about mud on her beautiful Monique Lhuillier dress. They had other ideas, they had friends with lakeviews nearby, etc. etc. But I knew it would be great and stood my ground. It's an important lesson in leading your clients and gently demanding that they trust you.
