Most of the time I shoot real people in the midst of real life moments.
Other times, it’s real life ladies wearing real gowns from a real shop owned by a real person.

And this would be one such time.

In honor of Bateau Bridal Boutique’s unique placement and service to this town,
And as an ode to you do-it-how-you-like brides-
You kick the expected to the curb type-
You cut-from-a-different-cloth-kind-

We salute you.
And we dedicate this Spenard Bridal shoot to you.

Gowns from: Bateau Bridal Boutique
Hair and Make Up by Hannah’s Hair Expressions with assistance from Ziona Brownlow
Venue: The Streets of Spenard & The World Famous Chilkoot Charlie’s
Gowns by: Amy Kuschel, Dame Couture, Blue Willow Bride, & Cicada
Lady Models: Kelcy, Melissa, Ziona, Calais, & Nicole

All my brides of now and brides to be, listen close you hear. Conveniently and oh so eclectically located behind Anchorage’s most renown Chilkoot Charlie’s, you will find a little white house. And inside this little house, they take care of one bride at a time. They’re about finding what makes you happy, with walls and walls of designer gowns so pretty they’d make your mama cry.

And that little white house is called Bateau Bridal Boutique.
It should be first stop city on your list.

And, as an added bonus, you can look forward to seeing my friendly face there for the next few months as Mrs.Tara-G is about to have herself a baby!

Come and see me you pretty brides.

With love,
Lauren
