Our First Styled Shoot!

We've been waiting patiently to post photos from this amazing session because it was in the running to be featured on some local blogs. And guess what? It was featured on one of our favorites - Capitol Romance!

This was the first styled shoot Greg and I were able to participate in, but it will not be our last. It was such a fun time, partnering with and promoting other incredibly talented vendors in the industry.

First, there was the brains behind the whole operation, Senta of B. Mingled Weddings & Events. She had the vision and brought the urban, modern flair! And she is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet!

Next, was the gorgeous venue, Longview Gallery. It fit the urban, modern vibe perfectly and offered a large, but intimate space. The moody lighting really added to the overall feel. And they had an enclosed patio out back surrounded by rustic buildings. What an awesome place to hold an event!

We also had a lot of fun watching the make-up artist, JuliePage. What a talented, hilarious, and photogenic woman! She made our already gorgeous models look absolutely stunning.

The floral arrangements, made by EightTreeStreet, were amazing. Our personal favorite was the tree centerpiece - we could have photographed it all day!

And finally, none of this would have been possible without our two awesome models - Rialand & Esther. Both of these individuals are as gifted and authentic as they are photogenic! Rialand is the owner of RJ's Music Service, and Esther is an accomplished actress and dancer.

Thanks to everyone! We can't wait to work with you all again soon!

River Farm Wedding: Claire & Craig

Band class...that's where these two met. (Well, if you want to get technical, that's how Craig met Claire's little sister). So from the very beginning, music has been a big part of their life. This was heavily reflected in the wedding: from the 5 piece brass band playing during the ceremony, to the musician themed table names, to the fact that the dance floor was FULL from the first song to the last. The wedding was high class, yet laid back and an absolute blast for all who attended - photographers included.

In addition, it was one of those "small world" weddings. It turns out that my husband, who is always my incredibly talented second photographer, went to high school with two of the groomsmen and the DJ. It'll be a teeny tiny world when that happens to me, since I'm from the other side of the country, haha.

And last but not least....River Farm. Oh. My. GOODNESS! By far my favorite venue to date. The staff was wonderful, the mansion was beautiful, and the property was endless. Flowers, wilderness, waterfront, and even a little children's play area.

Claire & Craig, we felt so privileged to be part of this momentous occasion. Thank you for inviting us into your lives, and becoming close friends in the process! We look forward to many more awesome memories!
