Amazing Athens - Behind the Scenes

I am on a 4 month holiday in Greece (www.fourmonthsingreece.blogspot.com - shameless plug!). Our model, Moneta Brcina, is from Slovenia and came to Greece this year to model. Petros Hatzianastassiou the great photographer arranged the shoot and we shot at the top of Penteli mountain, so many beautiful locations to choose from there. The outfits were showcased at Athens Exclusive Designers Week (kindly supplied by Dusanka Duric), Moneta looked gorgeous in them... long limbs + designer outfits = bliss! I don't have the edited pics yet but was blown away with what I saw on camera. I can't contain my excitement so here is a behind-the-scenes shot!

Bridal Boredom

I am not a fan of bridal makeup. Uptight brides resisting any colour on their faces, panicked bridal parties, the inevitable peanut gallery that insists they know more about makeup than you do.... I am not a fan of bridal makeup!

My portfolio has beautiful girls in it, they simply outshine any bride I add to my portfolio. Overall I find that brides are not pretty, they are not ugly, but next to the models pics they just do not compare.

So I decided to do a bridal studio shoot complete with a fake bride and borrowed dress. I am a fan of 'frides' - fake brides!
