Erin Cole Salon

February 6th, 2009 @ 11:34 am by Leigh @ Leigh Miller Photographer

A few weeks ago I got a call from my good friend (and former bride) Erin Cole about shooting some salon shots for her. I was thrilled. Erin is always a blast to work with and I just heart her and her work so much! Her jewelry line is out of this world. I was also excited about seeing some of the shots I did for her ad campaign last year blown up and hanging on the walls.

So we settled on a date when the amazing Judd Waddell would be having his trunk show in the salon. I personally had never been to a trunk show and was excited to see what exactly went on. What a treat for the brides who had appointments that day! Can you imagine having the designer of your gown in the store while you're trying it on and HE is going to fit you? For one bride he even combined two designs right there on the spot, and brides who purchased one of Judd's gowns that day received a sketch of their gown autographed by Judd. I think that is pretty wonderful. It is also funny because my knowledge of designers in the fashion industry is pretty much limited to Project Runway, with all the drama and egos. Judd is so down to earth, such a nice guy. As an artist it was fun for me to watch his reaction as the gals put on his gowns. You could tell he was genuinely interested in every bride that came through that door. So between Judd and the amazing gals at Erin Cole, it was a real treat for everyone. I think you can tell from the photos and the note from a past client, Erin and her staff are all about making your wedding gown experience exceptional on all levels. It was all I could do to not just rip off my clothes and start trying on gowns too - haha! So here are some photos from the day. This Friday and Saturday one of the designers from Rivini will be at Erin Cole and you can check out Judd's website to see where he will be for the rest of the year. Have a great day everyone!

That series of the crying girl is me! It was such an emotional moment, and you captured it beautifully. The dress was just stunning, and of course trying on the veil was surreal. I got teary eyed all over again looking at them. Thank you!
