WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO MODEL
FOR THIS PHOTO SHOOT?
Brittany: I have been with my fiancé for eight years, and
we just got engaged last November. After waiting so long
for this day I wanted to do as many fun wedding things
as possible and fully embrace this stage of life. I spent
the last four years battling the most aggressive form of
breast cancer, so to finally be in remission and living out
a normal life is beyond exciting for me. When I found out
about the contest I thought it sounded like a perfect way
to celebrate how far I’ve come, with the support of my
fiancé and family.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF MODELING?
Brittany: My absolute favorite part of the modeling was
getting pampered with hair and makeup. It was so much
fun to try out different styles, and it gave me some great
ideas for my own wedding.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THIS SHOOT?
DID YOU RELATE TO THE CONCEPT?
Brittany: My favorite part of the shoot was seeing the
different sets. I loved watching the vision come to life
with each set, and liked to see the different ways certain
props could be incorporated. The concept of the shoot
was “One Dress Two Ways,” so it was awesome to see
just how different the same dress came across with the
change of hair and makeup.

IF YOU COULD OFFER ANY ADVICE TO FUTURE
COUPLES, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Brittany: The best advice I can give to future brides
would be to just enjoy the process and don’t spend time
trying to please everyone else. I spent so long waiting
for this moment that once it was finally here I dove
feet first into planning and Pinterest-ing, my fiancé had
to bring me back down to life. With social media and
websites like Pinterest, it’s so easy to get carried away
and overwhelmed with making everything perfect. Once
I took a deep breath and stopped trying to perfect every
single detail, things started falling in place. OO
