Creative Inspiration: a gorgeous vintage styled photo shoot, aka our "best day ever" shoot

I'm so delighted to be able to share our "best day ever" from the beginning of the summer!

A big part of being in the wedding industry is taking part in creative photo shoots. I've been so lucky to have been part of some really awesome shoots over the last year.  This one was proposed to me by the talented photographer Rebecca of Pepper and Light Photography. It didn't take long for me to answer with a resounding "YES!" because Rebecca and her co-planner Olivia of Cerise Events explained they were planning something really, really special. I'm a sucker for vintage cars and flowers on bikes, and this shoot included all that and more.

Vanessa and I headed up to the property early on a Sunday morning in June. Storm clouds were brewing on the horizon as the team gathered to  get to work. Several times we all had to grab everything and race inside to dodge a downpour. It was a long and exhausting day. What you don't see in the images is all of the sitting on the floor making garlands, the lugging things to and fro, the creative team standing just off side ready to jump in and tweak the ribbons, fix the hair do, hold up the reflector to bounce the light. Each shot takes a long time and a team working hard behind the scenes.

I was thrilled to work with these creative talents on this beautiful shoot:
