Interestingly enough, there was torrential downpour the day of the workshop, and a tornado warning. In Southern California. So as I was sitting there getting my hair and makeup done, the rain was hitting the window so hard, and then Chenin comes in from shooting detail shots outside and is soaking wet. I was getting soooo worried that all these people came out and weren’t going to get any good photographs. Then out of nowhere the rain stopped, the clouds parted, and then sun started shining. I’m serious. This is all a true story. So we all headed outside and this is what happened:

This is my favorite picture of Chenin’s. I absolutely loved this dress. I think tea-length wedding dresses are such a cute idea, I like anything out of the ordinary! Definitely head over to Chenin’s blog to see more of her incredible work.

The rest of the pictures I pulled from the workshop attendee’s blogs. They all did such a beautiful job!

This next one is from Christine of C Weddings. I love the close-up on the headpiece with Mike in the background.

This one is by Emily Steffen. The sunlight is dreamy!

Gladys Jem is such a delight! The next two pictures are from my new friend.

This one makes me smile every time I see it:

Kristine Atienza, it was such a pleasure meeting you! I love this picture of us interacting with each other.

So dreamy…by She Wanders.

This next one is from Amber from Zasey Photography.

I love the outfit that Chenin picked out for Mike! The concept was Scientists getting married. So she dressed him up as a nerdy scientist and I loved it! This one of just Mike is from Jennifer Ballard. If it looks like he’s wearing lipstick, it’s because he is. They had us kissing so much that it all transferred over to him!
