SNEAK PEAK: inspiration wedding shoot

one of the big ideas i came home with in my tool box from WPPI 2011  was the idea of an "inspiration wedding" photo shoot. wedding stylist extraordinaire, jill la fleur discussed the importance of working together with other wedding vendors, and staging a mock wedding was the perfect opportunity to build relationship and trust with each other. my head was bubbling with ideas as i began to consider how i might pull one of these off, especially since it would be an opportunity to practice my skills in preparation for one of the most important days my clients will experience (and as an opportunity to build my portfolio)!

last week, it finally happened. through a course of wonderful events and divine connections (which i will blog about at a later date), an inspiration wedding shoot came together and i am so pleased to share a few images with you!

so thankful to the following vendors for their participation:

wedding and event planner: Celebrations by Sarah

styling and design: Celebrations by Sarah and Shannon May Photography

florist: Garden by the Sea

venue: Harmony House

hair and make-up stylist: Jx2 Hair Gallery & Salon

men's attire (suspenders!): Allure Fashion

and a huge thank you to Jamie and Allison - a real couple who are incredibly in love, and super fun to work with!

love & sunshine,
