A few months ago I had the pleasure of teaming up with some amazing Creatives to create Occasions Magazine’s May editorial cover and spread.  Unlike shoots I’ve styled in the past I wanted this one to be very clean and simple.  Just gorgeous gowns and images that really speak for themselves.  I was most inspired by the colors I had been seeing on bridal runways and after a few rounds around town and meeting with designers I decided there was to be no white.  This shoot would instead focus on color, the Colors of Summer.  

Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing the five different looks and colors from our shoot starting with my personal favorite peach, but if you just can’t wait I suggest you pick up a copy of Occasions on newsstands now.  And huge thanks to all the Creatives I worked so closely with.  I love what I do, and I love that I get to do it with all of these amazing people!  truly, MKR
