A few words on the design, from Amanda Jewel Floral + Design… It was fun to dream up new ideas to inspire couples from both a design standpoint and also evoke some originality for the venue. For example, we placed the cake inside one of the outdoor fireplaces, the ceremony in the greenhouse and the table underneath the canopy tree rather than using that space as the ceremony area, which has been done before. We made custom candle holders, used brass name cards, and the bouquet was made complete with various foraged elements around the city itself!

Another favorite element of this shoot: the model couple is a real couple and it was their one year anniversary on the day of this shoot. They had so much chemistry, it was unreal! We’re so thankful we got to capture such real emotions, and also make new memories and preserve this special time for this sweet couple as they celebrated this milestone in marriage.

Last but not least, the aforementioned cake by Melissa’s Fine Pastries. Love this pop of color with the muted pastel tones of the venue.
