One of the shoots we were most excited about for V3 was this one, dreamed up collaboratively between photographers Jose Villa and Jen Curtis and stylist Joy Thigpen (with a little help from the SW office!). I’m thrilled to say that in this case, the collective dream actually became a reality! So much was up in the air in the weeks before the shoot — the location, which none of us had seen, the weather, which had to be perfect — but miraculously, everything came together and it just worked. We hope you love the result!

admin December 14, 2010 6:53 pmHi Rachel! The dress from this shoot is from Thread Social. It was brand new when we shot this, so Thread actually sent it from the factory! If you can't find it on their website, I would recommend emailing someone at the company. Good luck! It's gorgeous!

2010 Personal Highlights :: Emily « Southern Weddings Magazine December 31, 2010 1:03 pm[...] My first highlight would have to be the Asheville hot air balloon story we shot last May. It was the first shoot I organized pretty much solo (though with LOTS of design help from Joy Thigpen), and everything just came together perfectly — the weather, the balloons, the photography, the models, the crew. It was a magical morning, exactly the kind of magazine experience you (or at least I!) dream about. This despite the 3:30am wakeup call – you know it must have been a good day! Take a peek at the finished product in V3 and the editorial gallery. [...]
