{Love Session} Brittany & Chris

I'm so excited to share with you my very first styled engagement session!! This is a new endeavor for me as a stylist and we all had a great time! I've created a few styled shoots before, but never for a real engagement session!! Alicja of Taken Photography contacted me to see if I was interested in styling for her clients who will be getting married in June. And of course I said, "YES!" Brittany & Chris are so sweet and adorable. 

Their theme was centered around Coca-cola since Chris is a huge fan, so all the red details helped balance with the old fashion glass soda bottles. The canopy, wooden crates, paper tissue poms, scrabble pieces, bubble gum, rock candy, cupcakes (made by Delectable Designs), vintage double wedding ring quilt, linens, paper straws, recycled glass jars for vases, recycled glass milk jug vases, mason jars, cake stand, and basket all added to their adorable picnic themed session. I also arranged the flowers and chose summer colors with the red roses to compliment the red from Coca-cola. 

If you are interested in hiring me to style your engagement session with ANY photographer you are working with we can work together to create a style and theme for you. I set everything up and clean it all up so that you two can look beautiful and not do anything but look all cute!

Doesn't this just make you want to go, awwwwwwwwww!? 
This beautiful engagement session was also spotlighted on Style Me Pretty

{Real Wedding} Jenny & Robin

Jenny & Robin's wedding was very sentimental for many reasons, they were one of the 1st clients that I signed, I helped them and Alexis for their engagement pictures, and they had one of the most personalized sentimental wedding ceremony that brought tears to many there. These first images are a sampling of their engagement pictures by Alexis Sweet. I have become good friends with Alexis as she is the one who I worked with for the boho beach styled shoot. For their engagement session we walked through downtown with their two adorable corgis and I was the "dog handler extraordinaire". Their doggies are very important to them and had to be part of their special day. Aren't they adorable!!?

Jenny & Robin's wedding was very intimate with around 20 friends and family who traveled from Florida and all over, even London, England! Alexis captured the first look in Forsyth Park and luckily the Fragrant Garden was open for them, which you can see in the first 3 pictures below. Their ceremony was held at Wormsloe Plantation around sunset, then the guest departed for dinner at Moon River Brewery. Here are the vendors who helped make this wedding happen:

Ceremony location: Wormsloe Plantation

Reception location: Moon River Brewery

Eco-friendly details: supporting etsy and small business owners, favors for guests from local stores, incorporated family heirlooms and vintage items, non-diamond engagement ring, flowers bought directly from wholesaler, reused glass containers for flowers, stayed at a dog friendly vacation rental, and "green" wedding photographer.

The Details!

Many of the details for this wedding were bought from etsy vendors or items that Jenny & Robin already had or my vintage chic collection. They had a rustic honey, "Love is Sweet" theme which included their banner, honey sticks, jars of honey, bee necklace, bee stamped burlap bags, etc. Nicole, my assistant, and I had a great time setting up their 2 tables with all these fun decor items. Plus I did all the mason jar flower arrangements, the bridal bouquet, and groom's boutonniere. Jenny and I had been working together to figure out the best color combination and which flowers she wanted to include. Don't you just love her choices!? After their ceremony they brought the mason jar flowers to Moon River, cut their cake, and ate dinner. Look closely at their wedding cake toppers, it's personalized characters of Jenny, Robin, and their 2 doggies! When I've been working for so long with couples and the wedding day finally approaches, and then they're happily married, I get a huge satisfaction of knowing we helped make their day beautiful, but then I get sad that it's over since I'll miss them. 

Best wishes to a happy marriage, Jenny & Robin and keep in touch <3

One of my latest pins onto Pinterest came from A Paper Proposal's blog and the photo was taken by Deborah Zoe Photo.  Many of you know I'm originally from Massachusetts, but you may not know that I went to school in Downtown Boston for my Masters Degree. I lived in walking distance to Fenway Park and went to 3 games that year!! When I saw this picture, as I was blog surfing, it made me a little nostalgic and really miss Boston. My favorite Red Sox player is #34 David Ortiz aka Big Papi!! If you have time click on the link to see more of this cute engagement session. What a great keepsake! Go Sox!!
