12 Fashionable Wedding Dresses Perfect for a Fairy Tale Wedding (2013)

New York Fashion Week is underway here in New York City. While I’m a photographer, not a fashion expert, I love beautiful clothes. It’s thrilling to capture the power and grace of a stunning outfit.

That’s one of the things I like about wedding photography. It is my job to reveal the art and craftsmanship of exquisite gowns. But that’s not my favorite part. More than anything, I love capturing the confident glow of a bride who is rocking a stunning wedding dress, the infectious smile of a woman who knows she’s turning heads. In that way, a wedding dress is more than a dress. It’s a license to create your own beautiful world, if only for a day.

My personal favorite (wedding) dress designer Elie Saab ; I was almost brought to tears when I watched his 2012-2013 haute couture line go down the runway and the finale dress was this incredible, ethereal wedding dress.
