Details, Details, Details!
I know planning a wedding can get super stressful, but there are so many details you cannot forget about! I know every bride (yes, even myself) thinks about how to wear flats, flippers, or even flip-flops on their wedding day. But here’s the thing, you will be getting these fancy things photographed. I want all of you soon to be brides to think about these details. Shoes, in particular are so super important. Yes, bring the flip-flops for later, the cowboy boots, the Toms, the UGG’s if it’s cold and that is just how you roll. It’s all fine and dandy, BUT spend some money on some beautiful, gorgeous, jaw dropping shoes. I want to photograph them. I want you to have EPIC photos, and most of all, when we do your DIP SHOT – I want this super stinkin’ adorable shoe to pop out under your dress – not your Toms or your Flip Flops! It’s your day to be a princess, and a princess you shall be!

Some of my favorite all time shoe shots that I’ve taken:

Now that you’ve seen the shoes I’ve shot (which were all beautiful shoes, and I’m so in love with them all) I’d love to share with you some shoes I would LOVE to photograph! And of course I have a list! Now this list is from me searching on the internet from designers I ADORE! The first one, is my absolute dream shoe. Figgie Shoes! She is a true artist! You send her your blank shoes and she creates a work of art for you on the most amazing day of your life. WHY NOT have a personalized shoe of such a personal day? It takes time to plan, and must be done months ahead, but seriously? GAHHH, it’s love. Will someone please get FIGGIE SHOES? I will love you forever! .. So without anymore delay, Here is it, my list of amazing shoes that I am sure I will add to after I wake up and realize there are more sparkly, fantastic shoes out there: (The images below came directly from their websites, and were not photographed by BLP)
