Gold coast wedding photographer|Casey Jane

Lately I have been slightly obsessed with vintage patterns, especially the 1950s.It also seems that I have gotten my sewing bug back. Which is good, because it comes in quite handy for shoots like my most recent shoot with Jade and Celine. I made Jade a very feminine set in tones of peaches and cream. The Bustier is made from vintage material with crochet detailing and a lace up back. The skirt is made from crepe Chiffon with lace insertion panels and side split. The top of the skirt is finished off with elasticated lace for a comfortable fit. For Celine I made a vintage floral bustier with a blue polka dot bow in the front. The back secures with two self covered gingham buttons. Her skirt is made from multiple layers of lace with a” v “shaped waistline and a side zip closure. I worked with a local make up artist, Bronte Moore who listened very carefully to my requests and did a stunning job! I styled both of the girls hair for the shoot. I did Jades hair in three separate fish bone braids with blossom flowers pinned throughout. I created some height in Celine’s hair then put a large side twist on each side of her head. The rest of the hair was curled with the flat iron then I pulled it to the side. The location for the shoot was near the mountain, I had been looking at the paddock for a while and then approached the farmer to get permission for the shoot. I had a great assistant in Marianne who held my lights and bounce boards. Lighting consisted of two large white boards to reflect the natural light and I also used my off camera lighting with a shoot through umbrella. About half of the images where taken with the Nikon 70-200  2.8 and the other half with my Nikon 50 – 1.4. Marianne has taken ALOT of behind the scenes footage which I plan to use in a behind the scenes video montage….Stay tuned    x
