Most brides-to-be plan to have their dream weddings filmed and photographed—but for Lainie Schultz, photographing the days leading up to her wedding has led to an outpouring of support and admiration across the nation.
"Since I have been diagnosed, I only want to help others see cancer as I see it—and not to fear it," says Schultz.
In 2008, Schultz learned she had both stage-two breast cancer and Li-frameni syndrome, a rare disorder caused by a genetic mutation. Emily Harris, a photographer who had previously done work for Schultz's sister-in-law, contacted the bride-to-be, asking to photograph her cancer journey and wedding planning.
"[Emily] happened to call me the day before I was planning to shave my head, and I said, 'it was fate you called to come over tomorrow. Let's get this story started!'" says Schultz. Joseph Jones, Schultz's now-husband, shaved his fiancée's head weeks before the wedding.
The day was far from sad; the room was filled with plenty of smiles, food, drinks, and loving relatives. "I work with so many bridezillas, and it drives me crazy," Harris told Today.com. “This re-lit something inside me because this brings the focus back to a marriage being about the love and devotion between two people.”
For their engagement photos, David and Erin pretended to be Indiana Jones and Lara Croft for an adventure-packed shoot in Disneyland.
Hi! I’m the new girl here in the BG fashion department. Naima, the one and only BG fashion and beauty editor, is out on maternity leave with her new baby Grace! Her little bundle of joy arrived on Feb. 23rd and is so adorable. I can’t wait to meet her in person!
Naima's baby Grace
Born on 2/23/12 at 6:25pm
7 lb 10 oz. 20.5 inches
To make a long story short, I am filling in for Naima until she returns in May. But I am no stranger to Bridal Guide. I was the Creative Director here for a long time but have been gone for several years now while Mary Cate has been so wonderfully running the show in the art department. Like Naima, my baby was born while I was on staff at Bridal Guide.
Here’s my baby, Jacob
Born 11 years ago while I was here at BG
So, I’m happy to be back and reporting to you about all the newest gowns from Chicago and NewYork Bridal Markets and putting together the September/October issue of Bridal Guide. Lots of great products and accessories come into our office that I would just love to tell you about, so stay tuned…
