I love when a client has a vision, AND gives me creative license (and time)! I want to thank Shayna, our beautiful November 3 bride, for the opportunity to bring her vision to life–and do so on her wedding day!
With the bride starting her day at a hotel, but finishing her preps at the ceremony and reception location, however, we were challenged to make Shayna’s vision a reality. With the help of Steve Bales at Bold American and the support of Helene Popowski–planner, coordinator, supporter and friend–and Shayna’s willingness be be flexible, we pulled it off! The last picture below shows the unusual setting in which we shot these photos.
We hope you enjoy the results as much as we enjoyed our bridal photo shoot with Shayna!

























































































OMG! Ric, these are truly amazing! And, so clever to see the exact set-up used for the shoot! Shayna should be modeling… Absolutely stunning!!!

Ric and Barrie -
So now that the wedding is over and we’re back from our honeymoon, we’ve finally had a chance to spend some time looking at the photos and perusing the blog!!!! You guys are ROCKSTARS! I have no idea how you pulled it off, but you managed to take pictures of EVERYTHING and EVERYONE – we laughed and cried all over again looking through your beautiful photos. You guys really are incredible and you gave us (and me!) exactly what we wanted, even though it may have been challenging – but who doesn’t love a challenge!
Thank you for the blog shout-out – the pictures are SO awesome – ya’ll made me look GOOD! Can’t wait to look through these again and again – it will be so hard to determine what we want in our book, etc!
Thank you again,
Shayna (and Jesse) Bergman!
