I was invited to photograph this beautiful styled shoot by a sweet friend Alexandra. Alexandra and Heather were planning this for months and now finally as it was almost ready they opened a few spots for other photographers to join! I was ecstatic to not only see Alexandra again but also meet Heather. Alexandra is a wedding videographer and a leader of our local ‘Tuesday’s Together’ chapter so we have had plenty of interactions together! I have never met Heather in person though! She is also a light and airy wedding photographer in the NJ and Philly area. Being in the same niche is always SO nice getting to know people for networking and relationships purposes! And now what started as a working relationship is turning into a good friendship <3! Well, that makes me sure happy but going back to the styled shoot! That day made me pretty happy too! Not only did I get to hang out with an AMAZING wedding vendor team but also then to photograph their gorgeous work! The goal of the day was to create fresh garden feel inspiration for Portico Awbuty Artoretum wedding photos. It all turned out so perfectly! I think any wedding couple who is planning their wedding in a warm season will find this helpful and inspirational. The color pallete was very wedding-like with soft pinks, purples, whites and greens for this set. I LOVE pinks so this set of photos makes me SOOO happy!
The table was set outside right beside the mansion. Little string lights on the building arches created an extra romantic ambiance. The candles flickered all throughout the shoot. I felt like anyone was invited by this table to join in with the wedding celebration. Elegant vases, silk table runners, textured vintage wine glasses were all so cozy and inviting. And don’t even get me started on the food that Peach Tree Catering prepared for us to photograph. Homemade food that is created by an artist, that’s what it looked like! And as for our lovely models, you will see them wearing a few different sets of wedding attire. Amaya got to show off the prettiest and most unique wedding dresses! I loved the different tops and skirts of these dresses and how playful they allowed us to be. Will, on the other hand, got to obviously wear some super stylish suits. And can you guest one was my favorite haha? I LOVED that pink jacket for a groom! He looked so so stylish!
I hope you enjoy this part of the styled shoot and if you want to check out the rest of it, it’s coming to the blog super soon too!
