:: a model idea ::
Just a snippet of what I spent my Sunday morning up to! Kate Headley and I met up bright and early (or, not so bright; but overcast light can be so flattering!) for a few hours of roaming around taking photographs. She needed some photos for her portfolio of work, and it wasn’t hard to convince me to model my wedding gown (yes, this is the one I’ll be wearing in less than two months for the actual wedding!) and a few other vintage pieces! We had way too much fun…
So, as L. would say: here’s a few peeks at my (short lived! lol!) modeling career! (Behind the cut to keep certain prying eyes away. L., darling: this means you!!!)
{ This shot with the vintage VW Bug is hands down, my favorite photo of the day! }
She kindly sent me home with a handful of the photos so I could share them with you. Looking at all these beautiful images Kate captured has made me very excited to see how she’ll document the actual wedding in November… Anyway, I hope you all have had a lovely, fun-filled weekend!
Posted on September 28th, 2008 to life, wedding.

you look so beautiful!
funnily enough, my wedding dress had a very similar silhouette and some similar details! the short sleeves, the empire line/bow at empire level. however, your dress (and you!) are far more lovely than mine was! love the addition of the colorful shoes…genius and stylish.

Casey, you look gorgeous! (I’m still reading, just on Googlereader, so I’m not commenting as much as I did on LJ.)
Just wanted to say hi, and that I thought the photos were beautiful!

So beautiful! And your dress is GORGEOUS. Is it vintage?
I recently found your blog and have been enjoying it very much. The design is so lovely to look at…so old-fashioned and sweet. And you are certainly inspiring me to work on more fun vintage sewing projects! Plus the hair tutorial was lots of fun. I could go on and on, but….thank you!

Oh wow, that is just so so beautiful, you must be so excited! I particularly love the shot of you running with the balloons. I have been following your blog for a little while now and I really do enjoy it. I find it really inspirational with all the links you provide to different sites of interests and your tales of sewing and vintage adventures. Thanks so much!

simply fabulous shoot! Methinks you are going to have some pretty amazing wedding photos!
Thanks so much for the music recommendations! You’re right, a compilation is a good place to start…it’s the first thing I’m picking up on my next CD shop

The shot with the balloons made me think of the movie Funny Face, not because the shot is identical but because it seems to capture that era and has a very Richard Avedon feel. Fred Astaire’s character and photography was based on Vogue photog Avedon’s work. You are going to make a gorgeous bride!

Oh you look lovely! And the photos – just wow.
Your dress is wonderful may I add (I’m not a wedding person really, but I have been delving into the zone of wedding attire recently for my textiles project at school – most of the dresses are frightfully expensive & tend to be strapless numbers.)

Beatiful dress. You look gorgeous in it.
Also, has the Sunday Herald mag come in the post yet?
Let me know if it hasn’t and I’ll send through another.

Oh wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a perfect wedding dress. And the shoes are the best little detail of whimsy (will you be wearing them at your wedding too?) I’ve been admiring Kate’s pictures on Flickr for some time, but I think these are my favorites!
Have a happy Monday
