Ha Ha Tonka State Park Bridal Styled Session

Road Trip to Ha Ha Tonka State Park

A few weeks ago, my favorite model and entrepreneur Amira joined me as we took a sunny road trip down to Ha Ha Tonka State Park for our latest bridal styled session.  These ruins rank high on my list of favorite places to shoot in Missouri, therefore I was excited to visit them again.  Upon arrival, we noticed construction on the site, but it did little to damper our resolve and anticipation for the shoot.  We had been planning this bridal styled session for over a month and so much thought and consideration had gone into the details.  Even though we had limited access, we still found new and beautiful spots to shoot around Ha Ha Tonka State Park which made this session even more spectacular than anticipated!

First of all, I have to give the BIGGEST shoutout to Amira with Breeze Bridal Boutique in Columbia, Missouri.  Without her gorgeous dresses and willingness to let me play with them, none of these creative moments would ever happen.  Not only does she always entertain my crazy ideas, but she models the dresses flawlessly.  We’re so in tune with each other by now that shooting is a breeze!  I only have to mention a pose and Amira nails it every time!  Due to the many, sessions we’ve worked together she is probably my favorite model to shoot simply because of this.  Oh, and also – she’s gorgeous!

Selecting the details

For this session we chose to feature the gorgeous Lucia wedding dress from the Eddy K Dreams Collection.  We wanted a soft and romantic dress that would showcase Amira’s femininity against the hardness of the stone walls.  Lucia’s scalloped lace design which overlays a silky slip was the perfect compliment to the ruins of Ha Ha Tonka State Park.  Adding to this feminine allure was the bouquet designed by Emily from Sugarberry Blooms.  Every time I ask for a bouquet for a styled shoot, Emily not only wholeheartedly agrees but blows me away with her stunning designs.  Her artful arrangement of poppies and roses in this bouquet is my all time favorite.  There is nothing better than coming together with some of my favorite vendors for a styled session where we can all encourage each other while unleashing our creativity!

Until next time……
