The Bedford

I don't know about you and your style of things, but I personally lean towards more modern, sometimes even simplistic, and industrial things in life. Not that I don't also appreciate the shabby chic or traditional things, but I have all the feels for the other. Anytime I have down time with my business, I search online for new companies that might fit into that. The Bedford is a venue near 100 Oaks and inside is stunning, complete with exposed brick everywhere, multi levels and multi rooms, and can be used for many types of events. I reached out to them to see about a preferred vendor list and to see if I could be put on it and they asked if I could do hair and/or makeup for their upcoming styled photo shoot. So of course, I said yes!

The planning team, Essential Events, is also new(ish) to the events game and put together the photo shoot to highlight vendors in the area and it's a great opportunity for us all to get our names out there. We got a sneak peek from the photographer with a small handful of images and over the weekend, she released the rest of them. And can I just say that there is something magical about a great photographer? Any 'ole person can take pictures, but to capture that right moment and make it look Pinterest-worthy? That's crazy talent you've gotta have and Sara definitely has that!

Below are the friend-ors (vendors) that participated in the styled photo shoot. Beneath that are the images. Enjoy! And if you're ever in need of any of these services, I recommend checking them all out!
