hen Brandy sent me a photo of this bridal gown asking if I would model in this – I immediately said yes.  It’s a Vera Wang gown – the same one a model wore for a photoshoot in Egypt with Jose Villa!

It was a sweltering hot day, about 100 for our early summer but we had fun. Mr. Wonderful couldn’t make it due to a last minute change but we made the bridal portraits work for Brandy’s vision. I hope these images just give you a glimpse of Brandy’s photography talents and makes you wonder what type of dress you would wear today if you were to get married all over again! I have to admit – I think I would go incredibly glam like this, Vera Wang has incredible statement gowns. (See our actual wedding, check it out here.)

I also wore my mom’s stage earrings when she was touring as an international Asian pop star!

Diana Elizabeth would probably pick a dramatic dress like this if she planned a wedding today – and she would probably do another elopement style, incredibly small wedding, probably over seas!
