I was thrilled to discover that Bree McKeen, founder and owner of the Evelyn & Bobbie brand was scheduled to speak in Paris at Jos Berry’s VIP trend presentation.

A few months ago, Becky and I were brainstorming ideas for a bridal lingerie photo editorial. We were searching for an angle that defied the norm. Bingo! The Winter Bride!
