Things are about to get real pretty up in here. The uber talented bunch at Readyluck is at it again, this time with a shoot inspired by “golden sun-drenched fields of childhood summers, a love of high hairdos, and the fantastical dresses from Sofia Coppola’s, Marie Antoinette“. Big hair, soft hairpieces, romantic hues – we can definitely get behind that! The variety of backdrops they had to shoot in front of at the Johns Hopkins family farm aren’t too shabby either. We never tire of seeing the beauty these folks come up with!
Sara, of Jill Andrews Gowns: When Lindsay and Shane came to us with the idea for the photo shoot, we immediately knew it would be a great fit for our gowns. The inspiration for the shoot was rustic, natural beauty and we immediately thought of presenting the gowns as “mock-ups”. A mock-up is the first step for custom making clothes and it is, by definition, unfinished and somewhat raw. They are quite beautiful in their own right, and fit perfectly with the aesthetic that Shane and Lindsay were trying to achieve. Our vision was to subtly communicate the emotion of each piece without defining it too much for the viewer. We hope each person will envision how they would finish the garment and make it completely their own.
Thanks to everyone involved! Already looking forward to the next one!

Gorgeous dresses!! But…they aren’t on their website anywhere?!?! Please share more info about these two dresses!
Yes, Meredith – they are hiding!! That’s because this photo shoot is a sort of pre-launch of our upcoming line. 100 Layer Cake is the first to see what we are working on for our first real line of gowns. I will put a little blurb up post-haste! We hope to have a dedicated website up and running within the next two months.
In the meantime, if you’d like more info, please email us at info@jillandrewsgowns.com. We can answer any questions you may have and also put you on the list for the Studio Line roll-out!
Local Color Flowers LOVED working on this photoshoot with this amazing team! Including locally grown cut flowers for the bouquets and centerpieces was the perfect, “natural” touch.
Love it all! What stunning lighting and the theme really shines through every detail. Love the locally grown flowers!! Nothing like fragrant lilac to stir up romantic memories of perfumes and spring days.
Oh, wow. That’s stunning. I love it. Thanks for sharing!
Spectacular! Wow! Great location, great compositions, great light. Absolutely GORGEOUS dress! Photography GENIUS!! Wonderful, wonderful work!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks so much Ayana! We were so lucky with the amazing sunlight during the shoot. Glad you enjoyed the photos. What a wonderful experience collaborating with this team. We are so thankful for the support from the ladies at 100 layer cake for this sweet post!

I love everything about this collaboration between Readyluck, Jill Andrews Gownsand Local Colors Flowers…the dresses are beautifully simple, elegant and very feminine, the imagery is so carefully considered with the perfect balance of spontaneity and gorgeous light…very inspiring shoot!
Do you plan to collaborate again? Perhaps when the line officially comes out?
Beautiful, magical images! I love the ones in the field.. especially the one where she’s walking down the hill, flinging her skirt, looking at the sunset. I love the 1970s colouring alongside the romantic french farm girl look..
Love this post! The light, the location, the styling, everything. Well done, Readyluck! xoxo
Bringing back the farm fresh!
