Oh yes, I am a total shoe whore - so it’s only appropriate that I ended up being a two-shoe bride. Therefore, while we continued to be primped and the boys headed down to the limo, our photographer, Travis Hoehne, took the opportunity to take my two pairs of shoes and dress out for a spin. He displayed them in a variety of fun places - from hotel hallway, to bathroom, to window ledge. I’m really happy with how these shots turned out - they will look fabulous in an album!

First up, my Alexander McQueen black and white striped satin slingbacks! They would be used for the reception, and I had been practicing our first dance in them for the past few months.

Next, Travis moved on to my black, white, and silver Missoni Wedges - the perfect ceremony shoes for an outdoor wedding. My married name beings with an “M”, so this makes them that much more special.

I love how he slung my Missoni Wedges on the handles of this cabinet. It gives the images some movement and the warm wood adds a nice contrast.

Travis went back to grab my dress, which was hanging up in Mamita Pom’s room, all lonely and a little bit wrinkled (we steamed it later). Unfortunately, we forgot my nice padded hanger, so she was stuck grasping onto my plastic clear hanger. I’m still kicking myself for that!

Travis took her out for a spin and hung her up in the hotel hallway. Happy to finally get some attention after those days of hanging in a plastic bag, she glowed with the help of the morning light.

I love the way the pleats drape in this photo.

That wasn’t the last time my dress was on display - my wedding dress designer, Carole Kenney, won a local Wedding Vendor contest for Best Dresses. Lacking models on such a short notice, she had me accompany a few other “real brides” to the morning news.
