Have you seen the “Looking Pretty by the Lake” cover model contest finalist feature in the most recent issue of Real Weddings Magazine?

For our cover model contest finalist feature, we picked three amazing real brides from the hundreds who entered to serve as our fashion models for our shoot at The Landing Resort & Spa this past March. We are honored to have Ciara, Nicole and Rosette as this issue’s three cover model finalists! These uber easy-going, beautiful and funny young women let us poke and prod them, dress them up and make them up at our all-day shoot ― all with the beauty of The Landing Resort & Spa and landscape of Lake Tahoe in the background. Ciara, Nicole and Rosette, our sincere thanks for being such great Real Weddings Magazine cover model contest finalists!

Well, before we post photos not seen in the print magazine, let’s at least show you the ones IN the print magazine! So without further ado, here’s their beautiful feature!
