Holy Monster'mony Set Up!

 I'm just going to go ahead and call this my favorite shoot without batting an eye. I dont know where to start but I'm blown away that this all came together like I envisioned. Danielle really out did herself capturing this one! Its so strange but Halloween is becoming more and more of a holiday that I really enjoy. I think a lot of it has to do with having kids and the whole dress up and pretend play element. Theres nothing pretentious about it.  As much as I enjoy it I really had not planned on doing a goolish setup this year. Then Pottery Barn emailed asking what items I would like to use from their look book. After I picked my jaw up off the floor I decided on a theme. I always pride myself of original themes. I wanted to use traditional elements of Halloween but give it a twist. It came to me practically overnight and I fell in love with the idea of a wedding for Frankenstein and his bride. Halloween and wedding styled elements together...in holy Monster'mony! The model choices for this were the easiest casting decision ever! Kal-El is so over the top dramatic with such prominent features I knew that his face could carry the makeup as well as embody the character personality wise. He just so happens to be mine but he was a natural. Charlee, Charlee, Charlee, I've been waiting for the perfect shoot for her and man was this it. She is so stunning and has such a natural confident presence I knew she could carry the look of a serious, beautiful, somber bride. These two were the stars of the show and even more natural then I could of ever imagined. A little demanding at times, but we expected no less from the little stars ;) This was also the first shoot that Danielle created a video for. I was blown away by it and its become quite popular even before its officially made public. We are both a little giddy over that! I hope everyone enjoys this as much I enjoyed creating this setup. Oh and for Kal-El and Charlee...no pressure on the real wedding one day....no pressure ;)
