Q&A with
TheWedding Chicks Amy and Jocey are the Wedding Chicks - two industry powerhouses whose well known blog provides daily inspiration, showcasing the best of the best when it comes to weddings. They also offer beautiful items to snazz up your wedding day in their shop, and have started a spin-off site, On To Baby. As well as being accomplished businesswomen, they are two of the nicest people you could hope to meet and we are so happy to be sharing their amazing shoot with Elizabeth Messina!
What was your original inspiration? Our original inspiration was drawn from wedding dress designer Lindee Daniel and her gorgeous natural organic wedding gowns. We were kind of all over the place with ideas as we often are. The lovely Elizabeth Messina along with the amazing Jeni Maus of Found Vintage Rentals really shaped the look and feel of the shoot.
What comes to mind when you think of 'Harvest'? Harvest brings to mind our favorite time of year, leaves changing, muted colors, peace and quiet and the most gorgeous light.
What is your favourite part of putting together a shoot?
Our favorite part would definitely be the end result, to see what was envisioned come to life through the eyes of a photographer as incredible as Elizabeth Messina and the styling of Jeni Maus is just amazing. Elizabeth and Jeni brought everything together and created something more than we could have imagined.
What does a typical day look like for the Wedding Chicks?
We work virtually with the help of iChat, and each have defined roles as far as what we do at Wedding Chicks. On any given day we do a ton of brainstorming, self assessment and have a few good laughs. We are currently working on how to leave our offices by 5 pm... so far no luck!
What do you love most about your job? We absolutely love everything about our jobs and are so grateful to be in such a creative industry. Working alongside your best friend and getting to enjoy our small successes is better than anything we could have dreamed of.
What's your number one piece of advice for brides looking to plan their own beautiful wedding?
Remember why you are getting married and create the wedding that is right for you.
