They say that rain on a wedding day brings luck and if that is true, then Victoria and Phil got lots and lots (and lots!) of luck on theirs!  The day started out partly cloudy as we photographed the gorgeous details on one of the most beautiful properties in Ann Arbor, Misty Farms. Just as Victoria came down the aisle to meet her groom however, the skies opened up and it rained and poured! Despite being wet, it was perfectly romantic and a moment I am sure they will never forget! The rest of the day was beautiful and the perfect spring day for a wonderful couple. Here are some of my favorites, enjoy!

When I am not shooting weddings you can most likely find me planning and executing the next Bloom Workshop. I love stretching my styling eye and skill set and getting to dream up and put together gorgeous "weddings" is such a joy. This particular bright wedding shoot was designed for one of Bloom's half day events where planners, photographers and stylists can attend and learn about their camera and shoot not one, but three, wedding vignettes complete with models, calligraphy, florals, desserts and so much more. The backdrop was The Felt Mansion in Holland, Michigan and the stately manor near the lakeshore was utter perfection for my history loving heart. Here are some favorites with a full list of vendors at the bottom! Enjoy!

You guys. THIS. This shoot that was a part of our Bloom Bash Workshop last fall in San Clemente, California has me all kinds of excited. While I love soft, pastel or neutral palettes I was SO inspired by this colorful and vibrant vignette we created. The copper paired with the salmon, navy and gold was just too good and Style Me Pretty even shared it here! 

We started with rentals from Found Vintage Rentals and when we saw these metal copper chairs we had to have them. Amy Osaba brought a touch of straight up magic with her gorgeous florals and styling of the fruit spread on the table. Anthropologie champagne glasses gave a perfect touch of gold. Molly Jacques calligraphed a beautiful set of invitation suites and menus and stamps from Verde Studios accented those perfectly. Our gorgeous models wore BHLDN gowns, Susie Saltzman rings and were dolled up by Melissa of Blush by M Marie. Cakes by M Cakes Sweets made the sweet dessert bar even sweeter, and the Casino San Clemente was the backdrop for our workshop and the shoot. 

It always amazes me at how beautiful everything comes together during styled shoot portions of the workshop. The artistry each talented creative brings to bring our vision to life is beyond words. When we fill the last champagne glass, or hand our bride model a bouquet and step back and look at the scene we are always in awe and so thankful for the wonderful team that make these shoots possible!
