Chasing After Love and Light Meadow Wedding

Chasing After Love and Light Meadow Wedding

I held a workshop for photographers in Southern California to help them them towards their ideal clientele. I talked a lot about my favorite thing: chasing after love and light with clients. We talked about setting up a styled shoot, and of course had one set up with lots of pretty details for the photographers to build their portfolio. I love to bring out genuine emotion from the couples I work with, so there is a lot of movement, laughter, and having them look at each other instead of me. I always look for a real couple who is deeply in love with each other for styled shoots. I strive to make every shoot feel like a date night - even one happening in a middle of a workshop!

My vision for this shoot come to life, and I'm so pleased with the outcome. This is my story behind this couple for this shoot: This is a couple who eloped in the middle of the woods in the spring in Southern California. They escaped their busy lives to celebrate each other. They used the Pantone Colors of 2016 as their decor inspiration, just a fun, added element to their sweet elopement. The Bride wore a Watters blush strapless wedding gown provided by Nic and Day Bridal. Their sweetheart table, provided by Party Pieces by Perry, they sat at faced each other. Even the chairs that they sat on were Pantone color inspired! The sweetheart table was filled with tableware that was to die for provided by Cherished Rentals. The florals were provided by Kat's Creations Floral Design who used just the right amount of Pantone colors to enhance the dress. Beauty by Katey gave the bride a natural, yet elegant look for her elopement. Friar Tux provided the groom's outfit that was perfect for the elopement and will never go out of style. Queen J Productions designed the invitation suite that embodied the Pantone colors. They went on an adventure together, just one of many, to go exploring to the hill tops. It was an overcast day, so it called for lots of snuggles and little kisses. They danced together in the tall grass. He hummed a tune in her ear as they swayed. As it became dusk, they looked out at the world before them, knowing that more adventure awaits. They were now husband and wife, and they felt right at home.

Love tells a great story because it runs deep. I love bringing that real love to every wedding I photograph - even in my styled shoots and workshops. I'm so thankful for the vendors who helped me turn my dream into a reality.
