MEET THE PLANNER
Sierra What makes you different from other photographers? What makes me different from other photographers is that I capture everything; from the sunset in the sky, to the detail in your dress, I get it all. I know the 'light and airy' style of photography is very popular (and beautiful) but I don’t think I could make my images as beautiful as they are without the sky being properly exposed. My images are crisp, clean, and show all the detail! What more could a bride to be ask for? How would you describe your photography style? My style of photography is a mixture between lifestyle and posed portraits. I capture some amazing real-life moments and emotions, as well as beautiful poses. My images are bold and warm, and also very sharp and clean. What are your business plans for 2019? Sierra Summer Photography & Videography In 2019 I will be offering videography! Videos are something that everyone admired and love, and I am super excited to be able to capture videos for my clients. I also plan on booking more weddings, joining bridal events, and connecting with more brides and vendors.
MEET THE PLANNER/COVER MODEL
Kyndall Perry What inspired you to plan this shoot? I wanted to bring something new to styled shoots so I took inspiration from across the pond; I looked to England, Ireland, Scotland, and even France. What’s your favorite part about planning? I really enjoyed planning the shoot, as it allowed me to pull different ideas into one main component. From deciding the color scheme to little details like the type of flower to be used, it was all exciting. What wedding trends are you looking forward to in 2019? I’m looking forward to unique color combinations and stunning floral set-ups! What makes you different from other planners? What makes me different to most planners is that I came into styled shoots as a model. When I was presented the opportunity to help set this shoot up with Sierra, I jumped on it. I wanted to know all the ins and outs to setting up a styled shoot.

MEET THE PLANNER
Brianne Johnson What inspired you to plan this shoot?
I love how bridesmaids help make the wedding day that much more special for the bride! There are so many different ways to celebrate your big day with your girls so I wanted to highlight those fun traditions and focus on the genuine relationships of those important friendships! I wanted something unique that felt real and genuine!
What’s your dream wedding that you would like to photograph?
A destination wedding would be my dream wedding. I love to travel and I love couples that are up for an adventure!
What wedding trends are you looking forward to in 2019?
I love how much more florals and greenery are being incorporated throughout the wedding day! I could photograph florals all day, not to mention they smell amazing! I also love that mismatched bridesmaid dresses are becoming more popular!
What makes you different from other photographers?
I am there to serve and love on my clients! From taking engagement pictures to delivering your wedding gallery, I am there every step of the way to capture dreamy photographs and tell your love story!

MEET THE PLANNER
Kelsey Miller What inspired you to plan this shoot? I was inspired by Mod patterns, textures, and colors for this shoot.The simplistic, white-based palette is balanced with pops of coral, yellow florals, and fun, textured elements like the geometric rug and copper pedestal. What’s your favorite part about planning weddings? As a wedding planner, I am one of the few people that gets to interact and walk beside couples throughout their entire wedding journey. Through the process I get to know and love each of my couples and it is such an joy to see the fruition of all of our work and their love when their wedding day comes! Each wedding is unique to the couple’s love story and I love incorporating elements that truly show off who they are. What’s your dream wedding that you would like to plan? I LOVE a couple who is up for something different! Mixing it up with food stations available all night rather than a traditional sit-down meal? All about that! Want to ditch the typical wedding all together and elope in the mountains with your parents and best friends? Let’s go!
