This day was magical, and one of my favorite days. It was easy going and laid back, and we just created because we wanted to. The colors and theme of everything came together so beautifully with the help of everyone involved, and largely impart due to Sara from Wedding Sparrow. This inspiration was featured on her blog last week, which was so exciting for all of us! A bit about what I said on the blog is below.
“My husband and I have a deep love and appreciation for travel. We save up yearly for at least one adventure where we can spend time together and explore a new place. We traveled to Paris over a year ago and we both fell in love with it. I’ll never forget that moment when we walked up the steps of the metro. The sun was shining, and the first thing I saw was the iconic rooftops. Our shoulders were sore from the backpacks we had been carrying for the past hour, but it was almost as if we didn’t feel it. Our mind was trying to encapsulate every moment and every image. It’s rare when we visit the same place twice, but when we were traveling to Europe again it would have been slightly heart breaking for me if we didn’t go back to the place that really made us fall in love with Europe in the first place. When I was there the first time all I wanted to do was create there. Bring my two loves of traveling and flowers together. So this time, we did just that! Without the help of Sara of Wedding Sparrow we wouldn’t have been able to do it. She has such a beautiful vision and really captured the mood I was hoping for with the styling. The colors are subdued, bringing in the blues and dusty beige shades that feel so iconically Paris. Old romance, and scenes that capture the beauty that Paris is, no Eiffel Tower necessary.”

Cari was a bride I worked with for awhile, and it was always a pleasure. Her color palette changed a few times until we had it just right for what she wanted her wedding day to feel like. The muted palette worked perfectly against the Navy gowns, and the natural backdrop.
When the bride walks into the room to see the final design all set, and she cries happy tears, it's the best feeling in the world.

A favorite arrangement from my time in California in late January. This was a beautiful simple, easy shoot that made for some gorgeous imagery.

I think I've said it 100 times, but last year I had THE BEST clients. Really, every single client was such a good match for me to get to work with and Pat and Lizzy were no exception. They were fun with a capital F. At the consultation were fun, they were fun the day before the wedding and the day of. This is the type of couple I wish I could hang out with on the weekends. Loved getting to create florals for their wedding at one of my favorite venues, Red Cliff Ranch.

Probably the best day from Erich McVey's workshop last October. It was the second day of shooting and the location was incredible. The way the sun was hitting those red rocks gave the perfect backdrop to the soft blues and creams that blew so beautifully in the wind. They even rented wind machines, but those were completely unnecessary as mother nature did all the work for us. Pure magic this was.
Erich just announced registration is open for his two new workshops next year! If you are photographer looking to learn the art of film, there is no one better to learn from than Erich! He's incredible! Thanks again for the opportunity Erich!
