INSTORE Magazine Feature

Images I shot for the OC Tanner grand opening were featured in INSTORE Magazine.

OC Tanner won 1st prize for "America's coolest stores". I have to agree. It is a beautiful building.

You can read more about the feature here.

Thank you to OC Tanner for including me in such an awe inspiring project.

(If you are interested in commissioning me to photograph interiors or exteriors of of your architectural beauties, shoot me an email..info@rachelthurston.com)

Featured on Design Sponge!

I am so honored to have our humble home featured on one of my favorite sites, Design Sponge.

For years I have been bookmarking inspiration I find on their site and in their sneak peak section of artists homes...and somehow our chicken wire found a way in.

Thanks to Amy and the whole Design Sponge team for supporting my photography and for asking the little blue house to grace your royal web space.

Read the article and see more photos here.

What a great start to my week!

Published In Eliza's Winter Issue

This Janet Jackson inspired shoot took me back to the 90's..a ninth grade dance company concert to be exact.

Who doesn't love to photograph hair flips?

Thanks to Eliza for featuring my work and thanks to team "Julio" for protecting me from oncoming traffic as I shot.

Featured on La Belle Bride

Haylie and Ross's super awesome wedding was featured on La Belle Bride yesterday. Thank you so much for sharing my work and spreading Parisan love around.

Check out La Belle Bride for this and other wedding inspiration.

(PS. Having too good of a time in Vancouver. Follow me on twitter for updates....and to find out how much I am eating and how many muscles I am shooting. Excited to share the images and stories when I return).

Published in Real Simple Weddings

Real Simple Weddings 2010 featured Lisa and Rodney's August wedding. I was thrilled to be contacted by them and chosen to be in this amazing publication. One of the best parts is the issue is out for an entire year! Thank you Real Simple for featuring my work and thank you to Lisa and Rodney for inviting me to be a part of their wedding celebration.

(Amazing details are huge reason images get published and I owe thanks to Lisa and her wedding crew for the genius behind those details, Aubrey Messick- Flowers and Shauna Lewis- Planner.)

once wed

tess and adam strike again!

their wedding is being shared today on once wed's amazing site. once wed also has a real weddings section that is featuring this lovely wedding.

thanks once wed! your site is beautiful! (can't wait to see the airstream wedding!)

...and thanks tess and company for planning such an inspirational wedding. when couples plan a wedding that is personal and meaningful, others are drawn to that thought and care. I just wish everyone could have tasted the chocolate and passion fruit cake. I probably think about that cake once a day.

on the interweb

searching through my blog stats today (that gave me the super cool info featured in the last post) I have come across a couple places where my photos or photos of me, have been posted. yay!

tess on the interweb:
oh happy day (thanks jordan!)
casando ideias (scan down the page, beautiful brazilian (I think?) blog)
wemetinabar (some great inspiration on this blog!)
the unwedding (I'm an anti bride too!!!)

me and granty pants on the interweb:
kellymccaleb-tumblr (see the little blue house and grandma's cabin details right above?)
grey likes weddings (my wedding was fun. I miss it.)

thanks to everyone for sharing my images.

I guess if you want your wedding photos to be online, wear a vintage dress (and have a super awesome name like, tess).

xo.
