Kristin was such an ideal client. It is so fun when someone hits on so many of the same themes in life that have influenced me and my work. Kristin is an adventurer who moved to to NYC and just found a way to make it. She has traveled around Europe, modeled for fun here in OKC for Meg Guess Couture (where I met her), then moved on to D.C. and met Andy. (Now, you are thinking, “wait, Todd, you moved to NYC and modeled?” No, no I didn’t. But it sounds cool doesn’t it? I am smitten with Europe though…

For this bridal shoot, she wanted to do throwback Hollywood glamour so I scouted and found the First National Building. And she was having her reception at the Skirvin, so that was a perfect fit for the style.

My inspiration was both the throwback glamour of her dress and styling along with a current European fashion look and color. I shoot a lot of fashion photography and love how that influences my bridal shoots. I think it is the perfect opportunity for a bride to feel like they are in a once-in-a-lifetime photo shoot with an amazing team involved in making her look and feel her absolute best.
