If you follow us on social media, you already know we had our semi-annual stock photoshoot last week! These shoots are when we photograph all of the new arrivals that have made their way into the boutique, and they’re always one of our favorite (and longest!) days. There’s a lot that goes into getting the perfect shot, styling dresses, changing looks, moving sets, fixing hair, adjusting veils, and approximately a million photos later, we finally have the magic. And the photos just keep getting better every time. We’re giving you a little behind-the-scenes look at this round of shooting, plus a sneak peek at some of the photos we’ve already gotten back from our girl Alyssa Barletter Photography. Keep scrolling to see what went on behind the camera and get your first look at some of our newest gowns!
