Carmelle Elizabeth- Custom Dress Designer

Every once in a while I'll post about other vendors on my blog and I definitely wanted to dedicate a post to Carmelle! I met Carmelle back in May when I photographed her sister Autumn's wedding. I absolutely fell in LOVE with the dresses when I saw them....then I find out that Autumn's sister Carmelle made every single bridesmaid dress AND the Brides dress! Carmelle has just recently launched her new website and I thought I would pass it on to all my planning brides to be! Check out Autumn & Joe's wedding PHOTOS

And check out Carmelle's website too! www.carmelleelizabeth.com Carmelle was nominated Best Custom Gown Designer in 2009 by Minnesota Bride.

Melissa- Maternity

Melissa is an absolutely stunning pregnant woman! I was so happy when she decided to make the maternity session a part of her grow with me package. She looked radiant along with her husband the day they came to my studio. I am absolutely in LOVE with the first photo of Melissa. I sure wish I could look as amazing as her as a pregnant woman! I'm super excited for her to have her little one, which should be any day now! I think it will quite possibly be the cutest baby ever! Just look at his/her parents :)

Chad & Leslie

We had a very warm evening for Chad & Leslie's engagement session. We decided to go down to Wayzata and I'm so glad we did. It was my first engagement session down there and I had a great time with them. So many fun little places to go for photos. Chad was a trooper and even went and did some ice cream photos for me! I've been wanting to go to a cute little ice cream shop for a while now and I'm so glad we did! they are definitely my favorite of the evening! Can't wait till next May for your wedding guys!!
