about modern luxury brides

CHiCAGo soCiAl

“We’ve been advertising with MODERN LUXURY BRIDES for about three years now and found it extremely benefi cial to be associated and partnered with their stylish

magazine. the publication is geared toward a discerning clientele that appreciates high quality services and products; the editorials offer great insight to its readers and attract those that appreciate the fashion-focused approach that Carasco Photography

takes. MODERN LUXURY BRIDES has strong relationships with their magazine partners and are always happy to connect like-minded professionals so there is a

two-tiered benefi t with being a part of the MoDErN Luxury community.”

CaRa Nava, CArASCo PhotoGrAPhy

“Within the fi rst weekend of the issue’s release, our ad was paid for. i even had one bride tell me that in the Summer issue, alone,

she fell in love with rings from me, found a fl orist, and secured an on site wedding day coordinator. thank you for a stunning

publication. i look forward to working together for many seasons in the future.”
