When our team got together and started to collaborate on our inspirational wedding photoshoots I had always dreamed of the day we’d be sharing with you our work in print. Never did we think that our work would be featured in 11 (that’s right, ELEVEN!) beautiful, full bleed pages of nothing but gorgeous images– but that we would also have our work on the cover of a magazine! I am so excited for our talented team, whose hard work and creativity are the reason for this post–

• Photography: Carla Ten Eyck and her team– Sara, Rebecca, and GREG LEWIS!
• Hair & Makeup: Dana Bartone & Co.
• Fashion & Accessory Styling: Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the Shore
• Floral Design: Datura: A Modern Garden
• Paper: Posh Paperie
• Confections: Lovely Lollies
• Shoot Styling & Tablescape: Jubilee Events with special thank you to our dynamite team– Diana, Amanda and Ashley.

Members of our team (myself included) would tell you that we really do this for the love of it– the love of creating, collaborating, working with our friends, being inspired, having fun. That’s the truth of it and it’s not a lie. It’s the reason why we do all these fun shoots, and because of that, it’s even more sweeter to have our work featured.

Our shoot took place at the gorgeous and world renowned Mayflower Inn & Spa which is, by the way, one of the most beautiful, amazing, and gorgeous places to have a wedding. We were inspired by winter, the color blue, toile, and interesting textures like birch, evergreen, yarn, and vintage paper. Tony created several amazing bouquets– one of which has been a steady contender for my all time favorite bouquet. Ever. And it’s featured!  Beth created a preppy look that my heart continues to lust after– gorgeous dress, cardigan, sparkly belt, layered pearls. Yum! Posh Paperie sent me a box of THE MOST gorgeous creations– paper pinwheels made of vintage music sheets, die cut “lace” paper embellishments, menu’s that open with a surprise hidden inside, and the prettiest invitation you ever did see (also featured!). Lovely Lollies delivered  delicious dessert table that we styled– filled with peppermint patties, homemade marshmallows, candy can sticks, french macarons, and SO much more.

Our team compiled two beautiful and inspiration stories, one of which you can see in the new issue of Gala Weddings (which is on newsstands now– I promise– I saw it in Big Y!). You can see our behind-the-scenes post from 2009 with stories behind some of the images that made it into the magazine. Carla also posted her perspective this morning– and Tony is sharing his gorgeous bouquet work with you on his blog today from the shoot.

There are also so many images left to share– so be on the look out for them in the next few weeks. A big thank you to Gala Weddings and our incredible team of friends and colleagues for all your hard work!

Something totally awesome happened recently– we, along with our dearest friends, were featured in the newest issue of Houston Brides for the incredible fall styled photoshoot we did with Maihar Designs, Carla Ten Eyck, The White Dress by the Shore, Just for You Floral Design, Lovely Lollies, Dana Bartone, and of course, the most gorgeous place on earth– Tyrone Farm.

The article featured the design genius that is Maihar Designs — the company responsible for the cutest flower girl wands and ring bearer pillows ever made. Thanks to Ashleigh for submitting all of our work, and kudos to a great team!

Something really sweet happened recently: we were named one of The Knot’s Best of 2010 for wedding and event planners. Pretty awesome! Thank you to our brides who filled out their questionnaires and put us down as their favorite. We appreciate all the love and support!
