This styled shoot was 3 months ago & this blog post should have been 3 months ago, but I honestly had no clue what to write. I wanted to make this blog post to show how proud I was of myself for putting together a styled shoot in a brand new city basically all on my “own”. This project took place on March 15, 2020…the days, weeks, & months following have been a whirlwind, to say the least.

Looking back, I am so beyond thankful I was able to complete this project before the chaos took place. I think it’s safe to say I couldn’t have picked a better spot to put a bookmark in my journey. Three months passed before I picked up my brushes again, three months of uncertainty, three months to do nothing but hope for the light at the end of the tunnel. While I don’t personally think the storm clouds are completely cleared, there is a break & I see the blue skies ahead. But enough about Miss Rona… let’s get into these absolutely stunning details!!

A styled shoot would be literally nothing without a photographer & boy oh boy, did I ever hit the jackpot finding Heather Ferreria. Her portfolio was exactly what I was looking for- intimate, candid, & real. She really knew how to showcase her couples love in a still image. We met up to chat about our ideas & what we expected out of this before moving forward.

Heather made this shoot what it is. She brought in an energy I would have loved to have on my wedding day. There were lots of real laughs, memories, & special moments. Heather was super resourceful & helped me bring a lot of my visions to life.

For the Bride’s gown, I wanted something classic with a touch of boho. Rita at Pure Bridal was so extremely friendly & helpful. She had tons of options & stayed mindful of our vision. She absolutely nailed it with this dress.

The Groom’s suit was provided by Milroy’s Tuxedos. The store manager, Nicholas, added in the blush tie & square with subtle floral detailing because groom details are important. It’s his day, too!
