1920's Vaudeville Inspired Styled Shoot at Logan Movie Theatre

HI9A8584+(1).jpg

In this styled shoot we took inspiration from the style of Vaudeville, and created a glamor, glitz, and show stopping wedding with the vintage qualities of the 1920’s. Vaudeville was very popular in the US from the 1880’s to the 1930’s. Originally it was comedy without psychological or moral intentions, and it would typically include performances such as magic, dance, stunt performers, burlesque, and more. In our shoot, we wanted to incorporate as many performance spectacles as we could. The Logan Theatre where we took the photos, was built in 1915 and became “The Logan Theatre” in 1922. It still has it’s vintage charm, and we knew it would be the perfect place to capture the feel of the 1920’s.

WHAT’S FIERCE ABOUT THIS SHOOT?

One of the many Fierce moments from this shoot was the ceremony shots took place in an actual movie theater. We had a real film from the 1920s playing starring Greta Garbo. We also love to incorporate performers whenever we can so we loved having a burlesque performer, drag queen, and contortionist be apart of the shoot as well!
