My favorite wedding work shirt & shoes

Thought I’d share my favorite work shirt for all-day Maine wedding photography. Looks and fits great. Doesn’t wrinkle. I can roll the sleeves or not. I have this is pin strips, blue, pink and white! I have a pair of Calvin Klein black suit pants that are fabulous and never seem to get dirty somehow that I wear with these tops.  I wear my pearl earrings but no necklace … hurts with camera straps! What do you wear on your work days photogs?

This is the funniest thing ever… I love BJORN shoes for wedding work. I have serious feet issues and have to wear orthotics. For this blog, I just went to their website to find a picture of my trusted favorite shoes… guess what? They are DUDES! Nooooooooo!! I should have known! I bought them 2 years ago on clearance somewhere and only wear them for my full days of shooting. Otherwise, my feet kill. I try every season to buy something more stylish but even this year I tossed my new ones (Naturalizers) back in the closest for these!  I am laughing my tail off right now. No wonder they are so comfortable and supportive! (Brian just came by and said “My wife’s blogging her man-shoes! Great.)  I crack myself up. Whatever! Here they are! Meet my  “Hutchins II,” hmmm… seems really obvious now!

Michele Stapleton - I have an incredible pair of black Cole Haan loafers that I bought out of the sale bin at the Freeport outlet. They were wider than my normal size, but I loved them so (and the price was right) so I decided to buy the “wrong” size try them with insoles. Well, I think that’s the secret: the extra insole makes them so soft! They are the most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve ever owned, so much so that on my recent (nine-day) trip to Paris they were the only pair of shoes I took.

I’ve resoled them at least twice, trying to extend their life. I keep thinking “this is probably the last season I can wear these” but they keep hanging on. I’ll probably cry when I have to ditch them.

I wear black dress slacks from LL Bean, and I bought two tops from Talbots just before the season started. They both have a sweet roll neck/collar and button up the back, making them look a little dressy/festive. One is pastel pink and one is flowered in shades of black and grey. Neither is online at this point (I picked them up back in April!)June 28, 2010 – 9:35 pm

Kathleen Kelly - I got my shirts through Junonia (great source for larger sizes). I have a long and a short-sleeved scoop neck T for more casual shoots (and for cool vs. warm weather), and then a tailored blouse for dressier events. I had them embroidered with my logo at Maine Coast Marketing in Falmouth. I pair them with either a pair of black pants or a skirt.

I’m going to have to check out those shoes of yours. Definitely need something supportive and roomy when you’re on your feet all day and your feet start expanding!June 28, 2010 – 1:29 pm

Audra Bayette - I wore ballet crocs to my last wedding. I wasn’t sure how my feet would hold up but they actually felt good at the end of the night!
