One of the many perks of it being “off season” for me is that I have more time to invest in things other than editing! This past Saturday I was lucky enough to be included amongst some incredible other wedding vendors for a winter wedding styled shoot. The theme was velvet and jewel tones which was such a fun change from the normal blush and white wedding (though I love blush and white so!). We had the most incredible purple and magenta flowers, a live event artist, and even a bartender slinging custom drinks! Below are a few of my faves from the shoot. Also, CEP brides: make sure to scroll to the bottom for the vendor credits. If you’re still in need of a vendor, I recommend working with any of them featured here!
