The Black Swan Wedding Project is a creative collaboration of some of the best artists in South Western Ontario. For the project, we selected artists and models from Chatham, Sarnia and Windsor. The concept is an homage to the 2010 Darren Aronofsky film Black Swan.

This project gave all of us the opportunity to do a little something different from what we do on a wedding day. We pushed ourselves as artists. We were inspired by each others creativity. And I, for one, was grateful for this amazing opportunity.

Thank you so much to the following who made the day and these images possible:

• Dresses and Accessories – Anastazia, Aliya Bridal Fashions, Sarnia
• Hair – Liz, Form + Function, Chatham
• Make-Up – Sarah Vidican, Vanity-Flair, Windsor
• Flowers – Tricia, The Purple Pansy, Chatham
• Lighting – Greg and Casey, The Chatham Capitol Theatre
• Location – Leslie, The Chatham Capitol Theatre
• Models – Rachel, Aliya, Matt and Jay

And of course to Linda from Bridal Confidential Magazine for having the confidence in us to just let us do our thing! You’ll be able to see all of the images in the upcoming issue of Bridal Confidential Magazine.

The Black Swan Wedding Project is a creative collaboration of some of the best artists in South Western Ontario. For the project, we selected artists and models from Chatham, Sarnia and Windsor to create a themed fashion spread for Bridal Confidential Magazine. The concept is an homage to the 2010 Darren Aronofsky film Black Swan.

But after shooting for a full day at the Chatham Capitol Theatre, we found that we just had way to many images for the two page fashion spread in the magazine. So we decided to create a dedicated website to showcase not only the photos, but the artistry of all those involved in the day.

This project gave all of us the opportunity to do a little something different from what we do on a wedding day. We pushed ourselves as artists. We were inspired by each others creativity. And I, for one, was grateful for this amazing opportunity.

We’ll be at both Windsor Wedding Shows this year for the first time. Usually we just do the Wedding Odyssey show at the Ciociaro Club, but this year a spot opened up at the Wedding Extravaganza so we thoght that we would give it a shot there this year too. So here’s our schedule…

Windsor Wedding Odyssey

Ciociaro Club
Saturday Jan 9, 2010, 10 am – 6 pm  and
Sunday Jan 10, 2010, 10 am – 5 pm

Windsor Wedding Extravaganza

Caboto Club
Saturday Jan 16, 2010, 10 am – 5 pm  and
Sunday Jan 17, 2010, 10 am – 5 pm

We will be booking 2011 dates right at the show. Most prime 2011 dates will be reserved by the end of January, so this is the perfect time to reserve your wedding date. We do have a few (very few) fall 2010 dates available.
