Graduation Photoshoot at Elizabeth Park in Hartford, Connecticut

When Beth from The White Dress by the Shore approached us all about doing this shoot, I went back to when I graduated-all the excitement, all the fun! I wanted to infuse every bit of that into this shoot and I wanted to bring in colors and details that made me feel this way. Now, a few years after I’ve graduated, I find myself looking forward to the next big party and wanted to design this so brides and their maids would find inspiration for a special shower or fun luncheon. Yellow and pink were easy to choose because they exude the energy and playfulness you will experience at either event!

The shoot took place in the beautiful Elizabeth Park Rose Garden in Hartford, so I took some inspiration from our surroundings. I wanted the flowers to play a role in everything! Our table was draped in pink, everything from the linens, chargers, and napkins right down to the chairs-it was a girly girl’s dream. Tony from Datura, A Modern Garden created a yellow rose runner down the table with pops of pink peonies. Hope from A Little Imagination Cakes not only designed individual cupcakes with colorful florets, she coupled them with an incredible pink and yellow-layered cake! Beth styled the models in fun sherbet colored dresses that played perfectly off the surrounding flowers. Throw in the charming paper details from Metal Mermaid Press and Carla Ten Eyck Photography and you have the day made!

Destination Costa Rica: Editorial Fashion Shoot at Los Suenos Resort Featured on Junebug Weddings

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Costa Rica for Mandi and Dan’s amazing destination wedding! We adore Los Suenos Resort– and we especially love these amazing luxury homes from Stay in Costa Rica (a property management company that represents these gorgeous homes!). Mandi and Dan had an incredible wedding at one of these multi-million dollar beauts overlooking the bay– and it all started because of this amazing editorial fashion shoot we did one year prior! We have so many amazing images from this trip to share with you– but first up is our fashion shoot at Puesta Del Sol, Villa Artiv, and the beautiful Casa Marlin.

Our inspiration for this fashion shoot came from the luxury properties available at Stay in Costa Rica. Beth Chapman, stylist and owner of The White Dress by the shore wanted to create a luxurious, dramatic and romantic look for brides having a destination wedding. The natural landscape of Costa Rica and Los Suenos resort provided us with the majority of the flowers used in the bouquets, designed by Datura: A Modern Garden. Our fashion shoot mixes both a tropical feel and a modern, sophisticated and decadent direction.

The gowns and accessories were shot in the most amazing locations– from the multi-million dollar spanish influenced home of Puesta Del Sol with breathtaking views of the rainforest and three different pays that surround Los Suenos Resort to the modern and swanky digs at Villa Artiv with it’s vintage Louis Vuitton trunk and Pucci chair. All three of these luxurious properties are available for not only accommodations, but also for amazing wedding receptions and ceremonies!

A special shout out to my girl, Carla Ten Eyck, who is by far filled with the most talent I have ever seen. I am not even sure how she is able to make everything and everyone so beautiful, but by God, she does it every time!!!

Thank you to our friends at Junebug Weddings for featuring our fashion shoot– go check out the post here!

Nautical Preppy Wedding Photoshoot in Essex, Connecticut for The Connecticut Bride

 

This past fall we had the fun opportunity to co-create and design a fun, summer editorial shoot for The Connecticut Bride Magazine. Having just come off our fashion obsession of nautical glam, we worked with our creative counterparts to design this fun, preppy, and dressed up version of nautical on the Connecticut shoreline! We worked in your traditional seaside color story– blues, reds and yellows– with a bit of sparkle, lots of stripes and a little kate spade. What I’m also excited about is half my summer accessories got incorporated into this gorgeousness! A huge thank you to our talented team who made the day so fun: Carla Ten Eyck, Beth Chapman, Datura: A Modern Garden, Dana Bartone & Company, A Little Imagination Cakes, Coral Pheasant Stationery + Design, and a HUGE thank you to our dear friend Rachel Edwards at Dreamscapes Design Group for not being just lovely and wonderful, but such a gracious hostess for the day!! An additional thank you to Alison Fischer of The Plumed Serpent in Westport for also participating in this shoot and lending her gorgeous gowns!

I just love this first look– colored shoes, colored jewels, those lockets (! which we all immediately purchased on the spot from Aquinnah and all now proudly own, and hope to not wear all at the same time, accidentally), striped puffy sleeved top, sparkly anchor bag…. love it all! The paper suite that Nichole from Coral Pheasant put together was spectacular. Sign. Me. Up. It was so well executed with so many fun little surprises– which I feel like is her signature.

Bliss Celebrations Guide Cover Shoot: A Dreamy Pink and Gold Inspired Photoshoot

I’m not sure you are able to handle so much pretty. I’m so excited to share with you some of the AMAZING images captured by Carla Ten Eyck at our Bliss Celebrations Cover shoot just a few short weeks ago. When Bliss contacted us to design a photoshoot for their cover they sent us a beautiful inspiration image of a woman pouring herself a glass of bubbly in a very 1950′s setting. We wanted to recreate that with a twist (of course!) for the modern woman looking to host a grand feminine soiree. What I love most about this shoot is how versatile it is– you can be inspired by the colors, textures, and details that our team pulled together for any kind of party– not just a wedding!

From the gorgeous Ivy & Aster gowns (and can we discuss that blush lace bolero?!) to the detailed and sweet paper from Coral Pheasant, this shoot has all the makings of what I love most! With a pink and gold color story, we brought in a lot of unique textures and shot this in a very raw construction space in downtown Hartford. In fact, it just so happens to be the first space our little creative team ever collaborated in (and was also on the first cover of Bliss Celebrations..!). I absolutely love Tony from Datura: A Modern Garden’s “classic” floral design. He made a container for our centerpiece out of boxwood (brilliant) and even created a mask bouquet for one of our models. Can you not see yourself toting a floral mask to your next party? I also love the boxwood trim that edged our gorgeous tablescape, which was overflowing with the prettiest cakes and macaroon tower from Confectionery Designs. The wide banded gold rimmed goblets to the individual raspberry trifles made for the most perfect setting. A special thank you to the amazing Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the shore who was our fashion stylist / director on this shoot and DD Nickel who is the artist behind the gorgeous beauty!

I want to extend a huge, opened arm hug to all our amazing vendors who prove time and time again that they are the best of the BEST! Be sure to pick up your copy of Bliss Celebrations Guide to see the images they chose from this shoot and head over to our galleries to see more!
