Last weekend I was lucky enough to be in New York City for fall Bridal Market - basically fashion week for the wedding industry - and in order to really cover it uniquely for our readers, we reached out to our New York member photographers to see if any would be interested in collaborating with us. Well the wonderful Merri Cyr stepped up to the plate, and I'm so glad she did because not only did I have a fantastic time traipsing around the city with her and her second shooter Mark Walker, but the images they produced are phenomenal. The goal was to capture what it felt like to be there at the shows, both backstage and in the audience - sort of a "day in the life" documentary feel. What a fantastic job they did! I adore the way Merri and Mark documented all the action and I'm excited to get to share some of their photos with you here on Photobug today, and throughout the week on What Junebug Loves.

Here was the scene at the Claire Pettibone bridal runway show...

At the Kenneth Pool bridal runway show...

At the Amsale bridal runway show...

And at the Jenny Packham bridal showroom...

And at the always beautiful Monique Lhuillier bridal runway show...

Big thanks to the ultra talented Merri Cyr and Mark Walker of Merri Cyr Weddings for these amazing images, and to the teams at Claire Pettibone, Kenneth Pool, Amsale, Jenny Packham, and Monique Lhuillier for allowing us such wonderful access to their runway shows!
