By now you know I love participating in styled shoots (with professionals I love to work with, of course). Lane' at Something Borrowed contacted me about providing paper goods for an "elegant garden" styled shoot– she was going for an elegant, timeless and classic look with more neutral/earthy colors (navy, cream, some gold and brown).  I had recently been researching vintage botanical prints for a client, and thought that would be a fun way to incorporate some color but still keeping the overall feel neutral by adding a wood engraved overlay. To see the full shoot and other amazing photos from  Jamie Rae Photo on Style Me Pretty, go here: http://www.stylemepretty.com/oregon-weddings/silverton/2014/06/19/elegant-garden-wedding-inspiration/

This shoot with Petalos and Erich McVey was definitely one of my favorites (wait, don't I say that about every shoot? Maybe it's true– I work with some amazing people around here!)  Stephanie from Petalos had a vision: soft pastels, watercolor details, natural surroundings, and two gorgeous brides. I loved helping bring it all to life. Here's the link to our feature on Style Me Pretty, and the lovely list of professionals involved is below.

I'm so excited to share images (thanks to Jennifer Fujikawa Photography) from a gorgeous Winter shoot I created paper goods for that was featured on Green Wedding Shoes.   I've always loved kraft paper, and wanted to use it here but dress it up a little, so it didn't feel too rustic. Pairing it with white and soft gray paper, and a nice hand written font and wreath graphic felt like the way to achieve that.  Thanks to Shauna from J29 Events for inviting me to take part!  Some of my favorite shots are below and of course you'll want to see all the photos here: http://greenweddingshoes.com/timeless-winter-wedding-inspiration/

Did you know Portland has the most amazing wedding professionals than any other place in the world?  Yep!  It's possible I have no actual statistics to back up such a claim, but ask any pro around here and I bet they'd say it, too.  I've been fortunate enough to work with some pretty incredible businesses around here in the 8+ years I've been part of the wedding industry, and the latest styled shoot I was part of to hit the lovely internet included many people that I adore.  Check out a few photos below thanks to Bryan Rupp Photography   The whole shebang was put together by Champagne Wedding Coordination and Bella Bloom Florals.  So, so very gorgeous!  See the whole feature here on Wedding Chicks.
