Bold Bridal Elegance with a touch of Purple!
We were so honored to be part of this DREAM TEAM of Creators. Often we let our creativity run.
Sometimes, the magic happens when you step outside the box. This collaboration was all about embracing bold bridal elegance, reimagining tradition, and celebrating the bride who isn’t afraid to stand out.
From the initial vision to the final product, this shoot was nothing short of inspiring.
We are incredibly grateful to have met such amazing people that day. Let’s start with our star, the beautiful Suki. Stephanie discovered her while exploring the fashion industry and was immediately captivated by her stunning presence. She knew she had to work with her, so she reached out. Since then, we’ve collaborated on several projects, and along the way, she’s become a dear friend. Suki also introduced us to the rest of the incredible creative team, bringing together the talent that made this vision come to life.
The idea behind this collaboration was simple: create something different.
A bridal look that was fierce, vibrant, and unapologetically unique. We wanted to highlight how fashion-forward brides could still embody elegance while stepping away from conventional styles.
THE PROCESS
On the day of the shoot, the energy was electric. Our team of talented creators came together to make an unforgettable aesthetic, at one of the best salons in the valley, Ryan M Scottsdale.
The two beautiful gowns, provided by Modern Bride AZ, was a showstopper with intricate beadwork that sparkled in the light.
Kristina, with Dress_you_up_AZ added a stunning pop of purple, proving our model that wedding day beauty can—and should—be playful. We were so impress by her art!
Shay (Divine Beauty Bar AZ) elevated the look with avant-garde hairstyling, incorporating dramatic details that tied the entire concept together. Joaquin, with JH Events Flower Design brought a fresh, modern edge to the bouquet, pairing soft whites with vibrant blues and textured elements that made the arrangement feel alive.
The Shoot
The setting was perfect—clean lines, bold lighting, and an atmosphere that amplified the drama of the look. Our model, Suki Liyah Lee, embodied confidence and grace, bringing the vision to life effortlessly.
Working alongside Michael (Still The One Media) and Antonio (Antonio Medina Photography) was a dream. Their keen eye for capturing both subtle details and striking angles ensured that the final results told a complete story. Every shot radiated power, beauty, and individuality.
Why It Matters
This collaboration wasn’t just about creating beautiful images. It was about redefining what bridal fashion can be. It’s a reminder that your wedding day is your moment, and it should reflect who you are—whether that’s classic and timeless or bold and unconventional.
Inspiration is everywhere
Inspiration Strikes Anywhere
Heading to the salon at Ryan M Scottsdale, our planned meeting spot, we couldn’t help but notice the stunning architectural details of the attached apartment building. The unique head fixtures caught our eye, and we decided to shoot there for a quick 10 minutes. Looking back, those 10 minutes turned out to be some of the most magical of the entire day. Thank you, The District at Scottsdale Apartments, for allowing us to use your beautiful lobby.

With its playful silhouette and intricate detailing, it’s the ultimate choice for those who want to combine elegance with a touch of fun. Who says you can’t have a bridal look that doubles as party glam?
We’re so proud of what this team created together. It’s collaborations like these that push us creatively and allow us to show our clients that weddings don’t have to fit into a mold.
