Serenity Blue & Cobalt Wedding Inspiration as featured on Charm City Wed

July 26, 2016 · 2 Comments

So as if last week wasn’t already super awesome, adventuring the west coast with Adam for our anniversary, I woke up last Monday morning excited to see that our blue-toned set from the styled shoot Britney and I worked on this spring had been featured on Charm City Wed!!

We couldn’t have pulled off such an amazing shoot without the help of so many amazing local vendors who were able to create TWO distinct and stunning looks in hues of this year’s Pantone colors. We were so fortunate to get to work with Janet & Christin at Nature of Design, who first of all, created THREE custom bouquets for each of the girls, but also completely set a second of our Shoemaker Country tables to highlight a more serenity blue toned scene. We also were able to feature a beautiful blue pair of Rachel Mulherin earrings, and Bella Bridesmaids Baltimore shared two sets of dresses as well! Not to mention that my amazing friends and our fabulous models stuck it out for 2x the fiercenss! We know it was a long day, but oh my goodness you girls were killin’ it (and hellloo gorgeous looks by Dorsey Beauty!) Plus the most jaw-droppingly pretty pear engagement ring from St. Johns Jewelers, plenty of food + drink, handmade watercolor paper goods and so much more went into making this shoot so beautiful beyond our wildest dreams! & I can’t thank Britney enough for being my partner in crime in the planning and fun of putting together this shoot. Thank you for all of your hard work and support!! <3 Please be sure to see the full list of wonderfully talented vendors along with links to their pages at the end of the post! <3

A huge thank you to Charm City Wed for sharing this styled shoot on their beautiful blog!

And so now, I’m incredibly excited to get to share more from our shoot, inspired by Serenity & cobalt blues, and a huge love of geodes!!

For me, it's as much about delivering gorgeous images of your important moments, as it is about you enjoying each of those moments. It's about the experience, about the joy and the love and the relationships with the most important people in your life. Whether it's your wedding day, engagement, or family session, it's about you soaking up every bit of it, and having beautiful photos to cherish afterwards. I love love, and love meeting new people.
