FEARLESS BRIDAL project | JUXTAPOSITION
What a wonderful year of fearless bridal shoots for the JUXTAPOSITION project. Public gratitude to all of you who followed through on the photo sessions and introduced us to wonderful new locations around Boston. And many thanks to those who assisted for the shoots – whether it was styling the women, carrying bags, or rocking the reflector. My life is richer for the experience with you.
We’re looking forward to putting together a wonderful JUXTAPOSITION coffee table book and gallery show for 2009… let alone the Vanity Fair-esque tableau shoot.

Rachel,
Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this project! I had so much fun and loved wearing my dress again! I just wish I could have talked my husband into joining us…. the photos are wonderful! Thank you again! And I can’t WAIT to do another photo shoot with you!

Hey Rachel!
Brian and I were so fortunate to be a part of this project. Thank you so much for including us! Not only was it a wonderful experience, but now we have some sweet sweet pictures to display at our wedding next year for all of our friends & family to see.
You rock!
Love,
Sarina & Brian

If I could steal your last line: “My life is richer for the experience with you” this would sum up the experience. i had a blast running around in my wedding day attire before my wedding and would recommend it to EVERYONE. It was such a confidence boost! The only hard part now is keeping these photos from my Fiance until the wedding day!!! Thanks again Rachel, looking forward to future experiences!

Rachel,
We are so extremely grateful to you for including us in this project! We had a great time shooting with you! Everyone said the photos you took should be in a magazine! I enjoyed being a model for a day! Thank you!

Rachel,
Thank you so much for including me in this project. It was so much fun getting to run around in my dress again and without worrying about messing it up. I have gotten tons of comments on the pictures and everyone loves them. People even said it reminded them of the Sex and the City wedding shoot! I only wish my husband was there. Thanks so such a wonderful experience, I will treasure it forever!

Hi Rachel!
I wanted to echo everyone else’s sentiments and add in my thanks and gratitude too! It was so fun shooting with you, and I’ve been told many times that our pictures look like print ads! Imagine that–this 5’4″(and even that is stretching it) chica being confused for a print ad model! ha! I’m so looking forward to seeing what becomes of this project, and will try to be there with bells and whistles for the groups shot!
xoxo

Ken and I are so honored to be a part of this project! The photos are a wonderful addition to the story of our wedding. We are looking forward to seeing the album we ordered as well as your final book project.
P.S. A few people have made the comment that the pic of me with the apple looks like an album cover! LOL

Rachel – Once again I can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful experience shooting with you!! I was so glad to be able to wear my gown again, and to be able to have these photos for years to come is an amazing addition to the photos we already have! I can’t wait to see the final result!

Rachel,
I am so so glad you let me do this shoot with you. I had so much fun!! I have to say, I rarely see a photo of myself that I love and find no fault with… I’ve never felt “stunningly beautiful” before but seeing your photos of me made me feel just that. Thank you thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to feel this way… you are a true artist!
Hugs,
Lindsey
