PHOTO SHOOT: Shaken, Not Stirred

Inspiration:
James Bond’s mystery, genius, sleek style, and flair help him to be recognized as the quintessential British gentleman. The exotic locations, innovative spy gadgets, and beautiful, seductive women can be summed up with just three little numbers -- 007. Beking Joassaint Photography and Bliss by Sam Wedding & Occasion Planner teamed up to produce a Bond-themed styled photo shoot at Loews Hotel Chicago.

James Bond has always been about luxury, mystery, and pursuit, and our vision was to recreate some of our favorite scenes from the movies. The idea was to capture the fantasy of a beautiful bride pursuing her elusive groom around the fabulous Loews Hotel.

The “martinis - shaken, not stirred” theme will be the primary focus of the 007-wedding styled shoot. Set in the ballroom, the decor team produced a mock table setting and a sexy color palette to help establish the creative mood and energy for the story. Our hope is that this shoot inspires both ‘Bond’ brides and grooms with modern, alluring, and unforgettable wedding style.
