From Jessica Rose Photography: "Kae and I had envisioned creating a shoot based on that brief and beautiful moment right after a couple leaves their wedding. Hearts full and overflowing with emotions from their wedding, the hustle and bustle of trying to fit so much goodness into so few hours. Processing it all just the two of them together afterwards, trying to remember each moment while also imagining how their lives will change from this point out. We imagined them stopping along the coast with a bottle of champagne, exploring the rocks and cliffs and taking time to soak it all in. For styling, we aimed for clean simple lines, modern yet romantic. We looked to the location for inspiration on colours and worked to keep them consistent throughout each detail. We purposely kept the modern and elegant styling slightly undone, as any hairstyle or dress would look after a full and busy day. It was truly a joy to dream up and style, and even more so to make into a reality as a team with such talent!". A trim sleeve can make a huge difference in the appearance of the jacket. The sleeve should be as trim as possible without sacrificing range of motion. What’s important here is the pitch (rotation) of the sleeve. A good jacket has a perfectly clean sleeve head with no wrinkling, twisting, or breaking down the arm. The cloth should be clean and neat (at a resting state, of course). At the bottom of the jacket you’re looking for full coverage, with the vents laying straight and flat. Too small and the vents will pull open, too large and the the hem of the jacket will “flare” or “wave”. At a resting state there should be about 1/2″-3/4″ of shirt cuff visible. The shirt cuff should be trim enough that it stops at the beginning of the hand (with a little extra fabric for arm extension – “Shirt Fit” article coming up).
