An Angus Barn Wedding

We recently had the pleasure of working on a wedding at the Angus Barn! I always love when a bride and I have similar tastes and sense of style! For this outdoor wedding I got to use some unique textures and an awesome color pallete. The bouquets included berries, rosemary, dusty miller, fern leaves, parsley (yes, parsley) and that was just the filler :)



Enjoy the images below!

It's been awhile . . .

Oh our poor blog it has been so long so we have posted anything - SORRY!

Life has been in crazy with wedding season. We have been lucky this year with some really incredible weddings and events!

I can't wait to start posting new pictures from our work this spring and summer (I promise to get back on track!).

Below are two awesome images from a Bay 7 wedding we did a couple of months ago - LOVED IT. Thanks to Dave at Get it Lighting and Photography who gave us the images. And if you need lighting for your event you definitely need to talk with him!
