I LOVE styling engagement shoots. Two people in love are the perfect clients, no? I was thrilled to get to style Jessica and Travis, clients of Jeffrey Shipley's, for their engagement shoot in California. Seeing the photos makes me WISH I could have been there, but it also makes me so happy that I was able to style them perfectly from afar.

Jessica and Travis both appreciate fashion and trends, and wanted to look picture perfect for their photo session with Jeff. After collaborating on a Pinterest board, they went out shopping and came back with clothes that fit them well, are timeless and colorful. All qualities you want to see in an outfit for photos that you are going to look back on for a lifetime.

Jeff did a tremendous job capturing their love and good looks. I can't wait to style more beautiful clients of his. =) To see more photos from this engagement session, please visit Jeff's blog.

A couple of months ago, I started offering virtual styling so that I can help those that are outside of Phoenix, Arizona feel confident in their clothing. Recently, I was able to link up with Houston photographer Holly Hoyt to help a lovely couple get ready for their engagement pictures. Before I lived in Arizona, I lived in Houston, so I was extra happy to have clients from my old stomping grounds.

JP and Angie are a gorgeous couple that are getting married in the fall and are centering their wedding around the 1920's. We all agreed that it would be great to give their family and loved ones a taste of what's to come with a Great Gatsby inspired engagement session.

After asking several questions, I created a style board full of clothing that fit the concept, their personalities and the location. The location was a rose garden in central Houston. How perfect, right?! Here's what I came up with...(click here for board).

From there, Angie and JP went shopping. They did a FABULOUS job finding clothes that looked great on their bodies and aligned with the pinterest board.

And, of course, Holly did a brilliant job capturing their love. She even filmed the two love birds interacting with each other. So good!

If you're interested in hiring me for virtually styling or adding my services to your business, please send me an email and I would love to give you more information (alexandra@avestyles.com).
