Spring Fling PART THREE with Laura Leigh Photo!

So this is the final unveiling of awesome photos from our spring photo shoot with Laura Leigh Photo. It was so hard to choose photos because Laura took so many great ones! We wanted to create some ceremony backdrops that might be fun for an outdoor wedding. All of the backdrops are in my in-law's amazing yard!
We built this cool canopy from branches that were lying around in the area and then draped fresh lilacs to add some color. I love chandeliers, so we added one of my white one. I have 3 of these that are available to rent!
I love adding different elements like the vintage chair and the dried cotton blooms.
So very vintage, down to the heirloom Bible.
I love the hanging bottles filled with delicate sweet peas, and aqua mercury glass.
It's amazing what kind of personal touches you can add to a ceremony space to really make it your own! Make it fun!
This photo makes me happy :)
We rent these amazing vintage doors for ceremonies! We have one wedding at a winery this fall and another on the beach later this year! These doors will look so cool! Notice the vintage light hanging? I retrieved this from my best friend who took it from a home they just purchased.
We can dress them up fancy...
Or just let them have the spotlight!
Didn't I tell you the property was amazing? Yes, there is a creek leading to a lake, and this super cool suspended dock in the middle of the creek. We took full advantage of dressing that up too!
Love it!
So happy this shoot turned out so cool! A HUGE thank you to my family, my two sister-in-laws for being models for the day, and the amazing Laura Perry from Laura Leigh Photo, for taking the time out of her busy schedule to come see us in Pittsgrove and take some beautiful photos!!! Now, who should we submit them to???

Spring Fling Inspirational Photo Shoot PART ONE with Laura Leigh Photo!

I had the opportunity to work with one of my favorite photographers this April for a super fun spring photo shoot. I have have been working with Laura from Laura Leigh Photo for a few years and every wedding we do together turns out gorgeous on her blog! She is a truly talented and amazing photographer! We chose the setting at my in-law's residence in Pittsgrove, NJ. I always tell my husband how lucky he was to grow up in such a serene, secluded, and natural atmosphere. They live less than a mile from Parvin State Park and there is a beautiful creek behind their property. We took a few hours on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and set up a bunch of backdrops. Enjoy Part One of Three! I'd love to give credit to our fabulous models...my two sister-in-laws, Melissa and Melissa!
I wanted this bouquet to be romantic and earthy, so I picked some natural elements like cotton blooms. I used Romantik Antike garden roses, white and pink peonies, pink sweet peas, and Ilse spray roses. I added some bling with some of my champagne jewels and gold metallic skeleton leaves. Then my sister-in-law crocheted this ivory sleeve with custom buttons! We now offer these as an option in any color and button style for bridal and bridesmaids bouquets.
I love the fresh pinks against this mocha lacy dress and cowgirl boots!
Our tablescape featured burlap, bark, and cotton elements. It turned out so pretty. Tell me this isn't a dream location for a wedding ceremony!
I filled mercury vases with more Romantik Antike garden roses, and featured my new purple bottles filled with hydrangeas and cotton blooms.
It is simply a gorgeous location!
I love the look of a floating rose in this vintage faux fountain! I have some of these in my boutique for sale!!
This is such a fun photo with the reflection of the bouquet! I adored these flowers and the pictures turned out completely amazing! I am so excited to feature PART TWO and PART THREE! I think everyone will like what they see! A HUGE thank you to Laura and Shawn for spending the day with us and letting us meet precious Leah! She is absolutely adorable and we wish you guys so many happy times together!
