The Sirens - Coastal Bridal Inspiration

The Hybrid Conference ended on such a high note! I attended an epic and oceanic styled shoot called "The Sirens" put on by @jannabrowndesignco@ashleyraephotography and their amazing team of vendors, assistants and models. I felt transported right into The Little Mermaid as soon as I stepped down onto the beach!


The story of the shoot was to evoke the magical siren song of the sea and the whole creative team poured their hearts and talents into making an unforgettable experience for us attendees. The shoot was so well organized and I was so grateful for the care and thought put into every detail. The team made it a calm, energizing and stress-free experience for all of us 25 photographers shooting at the same time, which is no small feat! I was blown away and my inner Pisces was doing a happy dance the whole time. Thank you thank you thank you!! Vendor list below.
