Sneak Peek | New York City Bridal Fashion Shoot

Good morning, all! Today I thought you might want to sneak a peek at a fun editorial project Merci New York is working on with New York City photographer Sofia Negron. Since this is a working project, we've tried our best to keep it under wraps, but the start of this flirty little editorial shoot was just too fun to not share....
The photos are teaser images from a more comprehensive editorial shoot of chic city brides in gritty downtown locales. The day started with hair, make up and styling prep at the Merci New York office, followed by a scurry to our downtown sets. And here's a peek at the fashion editorial. I just love the juxtaposition of pretty, girly style and the urban landscape! We truly wanted to pair chic panache and city grit, so we set off on a renegade mission across the meat packing district, hitting all the hidden corners and city landmarks the area had to offer. {And oh yes, that's our little Audrey-esque bride at the classic biker bar, Hogs and Heifers. Doesn't she look delightful as she watches the bartenders two step atop the bar}?

The meat packing district is a perfect location for wedding photos and engagement shoots, all it takes is a walk along the cobblestone streets to find some really great backdrops, such as the pretty Charlie Chaplin graffiti, geometric ground floor windows of The Standard Hotel, or {with some coaxing from yours truly} a double decker bus parked between shifts.

Full story to come soon! Hope you enjoyed our little sneak peek and behind the scenes shots!
