Alice in Wonderland Engagement Shoot by Lauren Brimhall Photography
After months of working on this Alice in Wonderland photo shoot with Lauren Brimhall, I am so happy to be sharing these amazing photos of Erin and Matt.
To read the full story behind this shoot (and see more amazing photos), enjoy this snippet from Lauren’s blog:
For a long while, I had admired the movie-themed engagement sessions I had come across in the wedding world of blogs. Back in September, I had the idea to do one of my own and almost immediately thought of Erin and Matt. I’ll admit that, it being my first session of this kind, I went to this couple specifically because they had already had an engagement session with another photographer that they loved, and in the event the images came out completely tacky, they wouldn’t be entirely deprived of engagement photos. The other reason I thought of them, is because right off the bat Erin had already told me she wanted to do something unique with her engagement photos to contrast the ones she had previously done. Well it doesn’t get more different than recreating a movie, in our case, one of Erin’s absolute favorite movies: Alice in Wonderland, the Tim Burton version.
Of course, I’m still me, so I still see plenty of my usual fun/relaxed style in the photos, and as for the rest, I’d say we definitely achieved everything we were going for and then some. However, I could not have done any of it without my gifted husband who was not only my second shooter for this, but the driving force behind the bulk of the set creation, as well as my amazing wedding-industry friends who also donated their time and talents to making it all possible.
From day one, Wedding Coordinator Danielle Pasternak, in particular has been involved in attire conception and large-scene setups. She has been a huge part of all the preparations required to create the photos and was present to ensure the shoot ran smoothly and put the finishing touches on the final appearance of some of the scenes. I’d also like to give a big hats off to hair and makeup for absolutely blowing me away with the way they were able to transform Erin and Matt into Alice and the Hatter, or as he would later come to be called: “The Matter!”
