I Need a New Model!

Posted on June 25th, 2008 by Marie Labbancz. Filed in Fashionista

Well I finally finished working on all the images from the bridal shoot that I did early Spring (before my busy wedding season began). It was such fun working with the most creative Claudia Seyler. We make such a great editorial team. I love doing these these editorial shoots. I feel every time I grow so much as an artist and it makes my weddings all the better. Well, now that I’m finished working on the images, I feel I’m ready for another shoot. Anyone know any agency models, 5′9″+, size 0-4, and looking for some great bridal shots for their portfolio???? I’m ready! Here are some of the last few images from the shoot. I’m dreaming up ideas of what my next shoot will be.

Bridal Fashion - Part 2

Posted on June 18th, 2008 by Marie Labbancz. Filed in Fashionista

I adore everything about weddings, but I must confess a particular “passion” for bridal fashion. I think some of my brides think I’m a little strange when I can rattle off the designer of brides that I photographed over 6 years ago. (A girl just remembers those things) Anyway, as some of you may remember, several months back I shared with you some images that I photographed of the beautiful bridal headgear of milliner, Holly Slayton of Artikal. (Then my outrageously busy wedding season began) It was a marvelous shoot with hair and makeup provided by Claudia Seyler who you all know I adore. The gorgeous gown for the shoot were provided by Jennifer’s Bridal in Hockessin, Delaware. What a fab selection she has. Thank you Jennifer! I finally had a few minutes free from my VERY busy schedule to work on a few more images to share with you. Editorial so creative and really helps me grow artistically for myself as an artist, and my couples. Enjoy!

Bridal Hair Fashion

Posted on April 23rd, 2008 by Marie Labbancz. Filed in Fashionista

As many of my brides know, a veil is no longer the only option to adorn your locks on your wedding day. From birdcage veils to feathered combs the possibilities are endless. Yesterday I was very fortunate to photograph some of the beautiful bridal headgear of milliner, Holly Slayton of Artikal. Holly has been designing hats and bridal veils for many years and her bridal headgear was just picked up by Kleinfelds Bridal. You go Holly! What fun we had! I took so many images during the 6 hour shoot and it’s going to take me several weeks before I’m finished working on them all. I picked out a few of my initial favorite head shots to share with you (as a teaser). I’ll have some more images to share from this shoot in the coming weeks. Wait until you see the magnificent gowns! Hair and makeup for the shoot was provided by the always amazing Claudia Seyler. Claudia’s talent never ceases to amaze me. She just creates look after look for me to photograph. We have such fun doing our editorial shoots together. It’s sort of like we are 6 years girls old again dressing our Barbie dolls. Our beautiful model was Anelisa, an actress from NYC. Her expressive eyes made the shoot so varied and beautiful. Thanks everyone for this really creative and fun day!

A Passion for Fashion

Posted on February 20th, 2008 by Marie Labbancz. Filed in Fashionista

From time to time I enjoy doing testing for models. It’s very creative and gives me a chance to “stretch” my artistic skills. This past week I did a test shoot for Janie of NYC. She’s signed with Ikon Models in NYC and wanted to do a little updating of her portfolio. Claudia Seyler did all the hair and makeup. Claudia’s talent never ceases to amaze me. In a matter of minutes she is able to create totally different looks of makeup and hair. I’m still working on the many images from the day long shoot but I’d thought I’d share a few with you. It’s very different from all my weddings (which will be starting soon)!
