Models Christie & Jess are two thirds of professional burlesque dance trio Triple Threat Burlesque. I have been photographing them, and the troupe that they mentor, backstage at their shows for several years. Once in a while we’ll do a studio shoot. When Jess found Deadwood Cabins and asked if I wanted to do something Western themed my only condition was that I got to put her in a wedding dress for a few shots. The whole shoot with Jess was done on a budget, no team of wedding suppliers, just a cheap summer dress and a few artificial flowers from my local wholesaler. The resulting images are relaxed and fun with a strong boho cowgirl vibe.
