Hey there! So, picture this: I got to take some super cool photos with a cottage garden inspo, filled with flowers and (some) sunshine. It was like stepping into a little fairy tale! Let me tell you all about it.
Okay, so first off, I want to shoutout the amazing vendors who helped make this shoot as beautiful as it was! It wouldn’t have been possible without their hands in it all! You can find the vendors instagrams at the bottom of this blog post.
Our florist, Paige Colston, worked really hard to make everything look awesome! She executed the vision better than I saw it in my head. The florals were romantic and dreamy, and set up the perfect stage for a love story to unfold. I could not stop staring at all the beautiful colors involved. Paige is AMAZING at what she does, and her work here proves it!
Once everything was set up, it was time to start snapping pics. And let me tell you, it was pure magic! I first got to capture some solo shots of beautiful Brooklyn, then all the sweet moments between the couple—like the way Austin and Brooklyn looked at each other and laughed together. It was like being in a real-life romance movie!
Brittany Walker is my go-to for styles because she ALWAYS over delivers!!! I keep telling her she should be on Hollywood or something because she has such an eye for styling. I have used her for so many content days and my own personal hairstyles too! She never misses. I mean seriously who else could make a bun look so cute!?
I also want to give a huge thank you to my sweet friends Hannah Williams & Kennedy Cain with Louisiana Dress Rentals for the stunning dresses! Every. single. look. was GIVING!! We decided to shoot in almost all of the dresses sent to us because it was that hard to choose just 1 look.
The energy between Brooklyn and Austin was contagious! None of these smiles had to be “faked” for a photo!
If you’ve made it this far, then you must agree that the camera adores these two!!! It was super overcast by this point so I pulled out my flash to help lighten some of the shadows. I never use my flash during the daytime much but I think it actually gave these a cool look!
The thunder started rolling in, so we wrapped up things with the flowers and headed over to the pool for a quick dip! Seriously, these guys are the MVP’s. I know that water was cold! They stuck it out for us, even though Austin was completely surprised by the whole jumping in the pool thing lollllll. Happy wife, happy life, right?!
Austin’s reaction says it all..
This was about the time that the tornado alarms started going off, so we sealed things with a kiss and got outta there quick! You know what we photographers say- anything for the shot 😉
Overall, it was an incredible shooting experience. Being surrounded by so much beauty and love was totally inspiring. I left the venue feeling like I had just stepped out of a fairy tale, with some amazing photos to remember it all by.
