Wedding: Pre-wedding

I haven’t written in a while on this blog mainly because I have been sick twice in only a month and also so so busy at work and with all the wedding preparations… I am busy right now also, but I managed to take a small break. Finally!
So, this post is about the photos from our pre-wedding photo session by Marius Barbulescu. The pictures are also on his blog with a full story of our photo session - in Romanian though…
He is a Romanian wedding photographer and when I told him about my idea for the session – fashion oriented – he seemed really excited about trying out this new thing although it wasn’t really his expertise – fashion photography I mean… I am so happy we did the photo session because it really came out great, perfect, just as I would have imagined it and we have now some really great pictures with us for years to come.
I wasn’t too much into the love showing pictures, I wanted them to be more edgy and fashion and he really understood what I wanted. Maybe better than me :) His pictures have a common vision, you can really see it even if if they are taken in 3 different places. I had only some vision for the winter forest photos, but from the ones he uploaded to the blog, I liked most the parking lot ones (the blue tones). That was his vision completely. It’s nice to see such talented Romanian photographers.
The fashion in this photo shoot was around rock which is pretty much my style. I like wearing and designing rock inspired clothes.
The whole outfit it my creation from skirt, corset, headpiece to belt. I used small Swarovski crystals for the flowers on the headpiece and belt. The corset is made of ivory silk voile and has duchess lining. The skirt is made of bridal ivory tulle and the outer one is made of the same voile used on the corset. Out of all the work, I think I liked the most working on the details like the flower accents, the details on the edges of the corset and belt (I also made a matching necklace but decided in the end not too use it).
Another very fun part of the whole outfit was the makeup which was rock-chick with MAC products and also made by myself. It persisted so good with all the snow and water from the photo shoot into the woods. My hair was done by Angelica and my shoes are from Replay (cool rock brand that I love).
I wanted to dress my boyfriend in a more daring outfit, but he had a cold so T-shirts and ripped jeans were out of discussion, plus it isn’t really his style. In the end we decided for something less daring, but still on the rock side – because of the dark colors…
In the end I was very happy with the outcome!
The photos were taken in a forest around Bucharest, Romania, in a parking lot and coffee place (Hobby Cafe) in Bucharest.
