Behind The Scenes - My Latest Photo Shoot!

Join me behind the scenes at my recent Sydney photo shoot, showcasing 4 brand new sample gowns my "Culture Bridal Couture" team & I have just finished creating... these photos are NOT the official professional images, but rather just some quick pix I took with my own little pocket camera! So I am really looking forward to getting the proper finished images from our professional photographer in the next few weeks - stay tuned!!

Once again I chose Dario Gardiman to photograph my latest designs, as his work is consistently FABULOUS, he always listens to what i want, and is a joy to work with. This shoot took place in his very cool Erskineville studio, and Dario created a great set with beautiful lighting and cleverly crafted props to create the shadow effects. I love watching Dario work, and all the little details he attends to, in order to get that perfect shot.

Our AMAZING hair & make-up team was just superb on the day, and the speed and quality of their work was mind-blowing! The very talented Susie Ayoub doing beautiful make-up, whilst the highly experienced Lizzie from L'Bridal Hair created works of art with our model's hair, assisted by Mary. They all worked so well as a team, making it look "so easy" when i know its so hard to do in such a short space of time. Lizzie and Susie are available for weddings, formal events and any special occasions, see their contact details below. Thanks girls, you did a truly BEAUTIFUL job on each and every look you created - PERFECT!!

And the star of the shoot was undoubtedly our GORGEOUS bridal model Tanya, who looked sexy, demure, goddess-like and downright incredible in every gown she wore! She has a fantastic & very feminine look that can be changed so easily, which is what every designer craves in a fashion model, so that we can transform her into whoever we want to, suiting each gown perfectly. Plus apart from having an amazing body, she has the BEST lips and looked completely gorgeous in ruby red lipstick, too. THANK YOU TANYA!!

Enjoy these sneak previews, and stay tuned for the official shots coming soon,

til next time,

xx Lisa

Vicki and Steve's Palm Cove wedding...

Here at the buzzing Culture Bridal Couture HQ (our little studio in Leichhardt), we always LOVE getting our bride's wedding photos back - not only do we get to admire our gowns as they are seen on our clients' BIG DAY - but we also get to see what the groom looks like, too!! Although we often hear all about the lucky guy during fittings, understandably we rarely get to meet them (as the gowns we create are usually top secret brides business!!)

Vicki & Steve tied the knot in Far North Queensland, Australia, at the luxurious Palm Cove. Although the day was really, really windy, they had a ball and of course Vicki looked fabulous in her 'Culture Bridal' Grecian-inspired silk georgette gown, featuring a sexy Halter neckline, flowing multi-layers of sheer silk and a beautiful silver beaded Sari braid at the Empire Line. As you can see from their wedding album pics, the wind actually added to the dramatic landscape when it came time for their photos!
