Carrie’s Bridal Shop for AJC

I photographed Carrie’s Bridal Shop in Chamblee for a Three of a Kind photo feature for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday, March 24, 2012. The shop, which carries bridal gowns that range in price from $300 to $999, is owned by Carrie Kerns and run with the help of Jennifer Shapard. This particular day the pair helped a bride-to-be Ashley Dykes find her perfect dress.
