Philadelphia Wedding Photographer | Shari DeAngelo | Modern Bride: Vintage Couture

March 31st, 2010

Last month I had this crazy idea to put together a group of extremely talented hair and makeup artists, about 9 models and some vintage couture loaned to us by the amazing Charyl Burly of Art Deco and here’s a handful of images from that day. I’m hanging onto some of the images for a magazine spread that I’m hoping to be able to share with you by the end of May.

Despite three feet of snow falling in Philadelphia 2 days before and a Wardrobe Stylist stricken with the stomach flu we managed to have a really great day and produced hundreds of images. Many thanks to The Sofitel Hotel and all the staff members for graciously allowing us to us use of their hotel and greeting us with their wonderful hospitality.

In my next blog post I’ll share some images of their newly remodeled ballroom. It’s really beautiful! Oh and food… glorious food!

I cannot thank enough the people who donated their time and talent or garments to this project. I love every one of them for trusting me with this crazy idea.

Lead Makeup Artist: Andrea Martini

Hair Stylists:

Wendy Weinstein

Bethany Bell

Wardrobe on Loan from Charyl Burly and Alicia DiBlasio
