Real Weddings Magazine had such an enjoyable time producing “In Living Color” for the cover of our Summer/Fall 2016 issue. Our gorgeous real-bride models, along with the always incredible professionals who contributed, pulled together to make this photo shoot one for the books!

Sure, we had a hiccup here and there (who doesn’t on their big day!), but that’s why we adore the professionals we work with. They worked through those hiccups so diligently the entire day to create this colorful photo shoot. Chalk it up to their expansive time spent in their respective industries or their continually increasing amount of thrilled clients- whatever it may be, we love them for it!

Here’s a glimpse of what it took to put together “In Living Color” – enjoy!
