Many couples missed out on big celebrations during the pandemic, or had to deal with next-level stress. It’s always heartwarming when those in the wedding community reach out to do something kind for couples who battled pandemic planning.
Tanisha Kepe of Ebony x Ivory Events, along with Jessy from Bows & Lavender, had a styled shoot in mind, but wanted some special models. “We reached out to real couples, to share their stories with us, and chose a couple we really wanted to celebrate. Amanda and Andrew got married during the height of the pandemic, and didn’t get to celebrate, get pampered, or take pictures as they wanted to – so we wanted to give them a little extra love through this experience. We gathered some of the best vendors in the city to put together an ethereal shoot that plays with light and celebrates love. The love between Amanda and Andrew was strongly felt all day on set, and was translated through the pictures just the same.”
