Peer Canvas Dry Creek Estate Deborah Villanueva Vineyard Bridal Fashion Shoot Teaser
This week we had a blast doing a vineyard bridal fashion
shoot.
We worked with…
Deborah Villanueva – Artful Dressmaking http://studiodeborah.blogspot.com/
Ashley Bingham from Dry Creek Estate http://www.drycreekestate.com/
And Tia from Capstone Occasions http://www.capstoneoccasions.com/
and us of course :) http://www.peercanvas.com/
A little backstory…
Ashley and her family are building a vineyard. Dry Creek Estate is going to be a sought
after location for weddings. The sunsets
will be incredible and what could be more romantic than a vineyard for your
wedding? They are booking weddings for
next summer, and if you are interest you need to act fast.
When Ashley and I met, it was through Tia from Capstone
Occasions. Tia will be working with Dry
Creek to assist the brides with planning their weddings and also helping as a
day-of event coordinator.
Ashley was very interest in documenting the construction of
the building—and this is such a great idea.
All of the planning and dreams actually going from blueprint to reality
is such a thrill that you want to remember.
But, oh the fun will hardly stop there for us J We had to do a Tuscan bridal shoot
there as soon as possible.
There was no question of the person to call for getting a
fabulous wedding dress----Deborah Villanueva.
And let me tell you, she did not disappoint. I knew I was calling her up last minute but
she had just the dress. Deborah had just
completed a total redesign of her own wedding gown just a few days prior to my
call! I know in one of my previous blog
posts I spoke about----If you do good work, it will find a home. It was so powerful to see that coming true
again. There was no real reason for
Deborah to rework her wedding dress, but she did because she loves what she
does. She loves to make and create for
the sheer passion of what she does. And
now that good work would go right into use with our vineyard project. Deborah and I had the biggest grins when she
showed me her own bridal gown and we both knew it would be perfect.
Since the dress was Deborah’s own wedding gown, there was no
question that she had to be the one to wear it.
This made the shoot extra special for me. I know that Deborah had mentioned before how
she wished that she had beautiful pictures from her own wedding. Shooting her at this fabulous vineyard
wearing her own gown was the perfect opportunity for me to recreate some of
that magic for her.
We went into the shoot with the goal of nailing 2 or 3
stellar shots, but everything was so beautiful that we couldn’t help but shoot
some video as well. The video attached
is a complete teaser of the behind the scenes fun that we had. Deborah’s daughter was our fabulous little
helper for fluffing the dress and veil.
We got to sample some wine (yum) and even ride four-wheelers around the
construction site. We had an absolute
blast and can’t wait to do it again.
The vines will grow, the building will go up… I can see it.
Dry Creek will be magical. Thank
you Ashley and family for inviting us be a part of it.
Enjoy a look at the fun behind the scenes.
Good Good – More fun to come!
We can’t wait to show you the rest.
Come see the full video at the Rockford Wed Expo this Sunday
