i’m crazy i tell you. no, really.

a few weeks ago i was contacted by some vendors in charlottesville/orange, virginia asking if i would like to participate in a styled wedding shoot. i’d never done one before, so what better time than the day before i leave for europe?

i know, i know.

but nevertheless, the shoot was fantastic.

cody grannis, owner and mastermind behind amore events by cody, joined me in coming up with the concept and styling the shoot.

so what do you get when you combine fresh botanicals + early summer + industrial influences?

this, my friends.

 

 

 

this is the full list of fantastic vendors, please give them your business- they are all outstanding people.
