Michelle showed up to our shoot in one of the raddest/kookiest (in the best way possible) costumes I've ever seen. We took these photos on campus, in front of Bond Chapel - a passerby asked us if we were shooting for a wedding. I remember both of us being very amused by this question, commenting that we'd love to attend a wedding where the bride was wearing this non-traditional of a dress. Either way, the backdrop was perfectly coordinated with Michelle's outfit, so it worked out well - she even had the foresight to wear shoes matching the copper hardware on the bodice. On that note, check out the intricacy of the wiring, the beading, the hanging feathers, and the painted designs on the dress - all hand-done (Michelle is seriously amazing and I'm so honored that she asked me to photograph this costume for her). Photos below!
