Dresses: Alice Padrul Designs
Jewelry: Twig designs
Dave and I just returned from an exciting four-day shoot in Italy. We had the opportunity to work with Alice Padrul, a Chicago based couture gown designer also located in the West Loop. Alice Padrul's designs are carried by fine boutiques across the US, and her dresses are truly works of art that were a pleasure to photograph. We had a great team in Italy, and an incredible model that worked hard with us to produce these photos. We spent the first day scouting and securing the locations we wanted and then an intense 3 days of shooting in cathedrals, monasteries, villas, and medieval hillside towns to all over Tuscany and Umbria to create this set of photographs. Thanks to Alice, to Chris from Second Look Films for amazing video, and to Kate for being an awesome model!
