Okay. Now that you've been all up in my brain with my scaredy-cat feelings and my type-A planning tendencies, I'm sure you'd love to know the ups and downs of working on my recent styled shoot. Below are things that went REALLY WELL, as well as things that I could have done better. As Ben Sassosays, As you improve, we all improve. Community over competition, friends. :)
How to Plan a Styled Shoot, Part 2: Let's Get to It!
How to Plan a Styled Shoot, Part 1: Feel the Fear
I wrote styled shoot across the top of the page, and made categories within the list that I knew I could populate - hair, makeup, cake, invitation design, accessories. Within this list, I also had a few categories that I knew I needed to find - venue (v important), gowns, florals. My heart literally started beating hard and fast when I finished my list, I was that excited. But I was also nervous - what if I got my people on board, and couldn't pull together the rest?
Sarah + Bobby // A Bright Wedding at McLoone's Boathouse in West Orange, NJ
Beckah + Josh // A Rustic Summer Wedding at Bliss Farm in Granville, MA
When I think of a perfect summer day, I think of Josh and Beckah's wedding. Everything about it was beautiful from start to finish. I could relive their day over and over - full of Jon Foreman soundtracks, lace gowns, dried flowers, mason jars, sparklers, twinkle lights, soft breezes, and open fields.
Ahhhh. <3
