On Monday I posted a few images in a “Dedicated to the Shoe Queens” thread over at the Digital Wedding Forum. The thread had been resurrected and showcased some truly fantastic details of bridal shoes.

The photographs covered the gamut from Prada to Converse and even some totally killer white engraved Doc Marten boots (of which I still have several pairs of in my closet!). Of course, most of the gal photographers on the thread were totally all about Christian Louboutin shoes…and without a doubt of course!

One of the reasons I love to photograph weddings is because you get to see so many wonderful fashion styles from cakes, to shoes to dresses to jewelery. And some of my very, very favorite detail shots are shoe shots. So this was a great excuse for me to go through some of my weddings and pull out my favorites! Aside from just loving shoes, I can happily admit to having a shoe-photographing fetish (with cakes coming in second and rings in the not-so-distant third place)!

Some of my more memorable shoe subjects include a pair of Louboutin’s that I had the pleasure of photographing that belong to a beautiful English bride. Her wedding was an amazingly fantastic special day held at the South Seas Island Resort in Captiva. Side note: If you are looking for a venue on the beach that not only boasts exquisite views AND fabulous service, look no further! South Seas is one of my very favorite venues around Southwest Florida!

I also photographed a wedding in Tampa that included a fantastic pair of gold Dolce and Gabbana slip ons that were to die for! Simply sublime!

On my must-shoot list: Jimmy Choo, Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, and Manolo Blahnik! I’m not asking for much am I?

Oh, and check out the very last pair of shoes in the gallery…those are Ali’s favorite dress up shoes. BOTH my girls are shoe-rus in training. Helena’s favorites are her rasberry Disney Crocs!

~ Enjoy and happy Wednesday…Astrid ~
