It is so nice to work with a great group of vendors on a photo shoot & see such lovely photos & write up on the blogs!  This week a Lace & Film Wedding Ideas photoshoot was featured on Ruffled blog and it is so lovely.  I love how it is a little vintage modern and not rustic!  The blacks and whites used in the stationery really popped and coordinated well with the vintage cameras, film canisters and reels.  It was perfect for this Los Angeles photo shoot.  Here are a couple of images – but check out the blog for the inspiration shoot and the diy posts on the escort & place cards, photo table runner and hanging light bulb chandelier.

Wow!  It is February friends!  I thought last year went by quickly, but January just disappeared on me.  It is almost Valentines day and I thought it was time to share a lovely little photoshoot from last year.  Maybe to have a little inspiration for a romantic weekend date!

Here in Dallas, there is a workshop twice a year for photographers called a “shootout” where everyone gets together to practice and critique together.  I was asked to help with some of the products used in this fun little session and it all turned out so wonderful so this next week I will be featuring the different photographers work.

First up many thanks to the people who made it happen!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Woo Hoo! I am thrilled to share this work with you all – it has been tough keeping the images secret for so long!
Back in July a team of talented people got together to do a styled shoot for Nonpareil Magazine. The lighting was perfect & the bugs were out in full force (our photographer came away with over 35 bug bites from the 2 hours outside). Our theme was The South of France meets the South – with a color scheme of lavender & purple highlighted by a natural beige color.

I was able to pull together a lovely stationery suite for this shoot. Inspired by the lovely french stripe shirt & fields of lavender bringing in some old school charm with the shield + monogram. Everything included is: Invitation, Response Card, Envelope Liner, Menu card, Place card, escort Card, Wine Label and Wine Ribbon, and finally the “Bride & Groom” Chair signs… that we changed to “Madame & Monsieur”. Wow – lot’s of paper products!

The lovely team was:
Catie Ronquillo – Photographer
Erin Daniels – Florist, Red Sole Events
Enjolik Oree-Bailey – Caterer, Low Country Quisine
Jessica Goldfarb & Lucy Williams – The Gallery Events
