Photo by Issa

We drove up 290 to shoot some photos for our Save The Dates, which need to be mailed SOON!

Dru!!! was main photographer, but Issa came along to video and captured a couple shots while she was at it.

More photos to come!

Happy Weekend!

A little bit 20’s, a little bit rocker. That was the theme of me and Issa’s newest photoshoot. Inspired by Steven Meisel’s 2007 Vogue shoot, we set off to Houston’s oldest bar – La Carafe.

To add our own touches, we incorporated leather pieces into each of our outfits – from skirts and dresses, to leggings and gloves. Anhesty supplied us with some great jewelry, which are all available for purchase at her Etsy store!

And as always, beautifully shot by StudioDru.

Another Phi-Style + WeWearThings collabo! This time, shot by our friend Annie of Annie Cat Photo.

The inspiration behind the shoot originally came from the Emma Watson Teen Vogue shoot – romantic, vintage, Victorian, luxe, rich jewel tones, and lots of baubles. The more we prepped for the shoot, the more DIY-centric it became. In the end, we ended using Issa’s handmade skirts and making almost all our own accessories – the flower brooches, bib-necklaces, and of course, the Maison Michel-inspired lace ears.

We loaded everything up in a Honda Civic and took over a [still-functioning!] train yard off of I-10.

The sign of a great photog? The ability to make you look great and effortless when in fact, there was awkward face times, trembling arms from hanging off sides of trains, and having Fiance and Dru!!! swat 15 mosquitos off your legs in between shots.

Aside from being the mosquito-swatter, Dru!!! photographed us as well. His version coming up later!
