Amazing things happen when a group of talented people come together to share a vision.

Throughout the year I get to work with wonderful couples to help them carryout the vision for their wedding day. But, with a styled shoot the vision is ours–the coordinator’s, the florist’s, the team’s. Rarely do I get to be a part of such a collaborative effort. It makes me super excited and so honored to work with some of NYC finest wedding pros.

Yesterday I photographed a styled wedding shoot at the gorgeous garden-restaurant, Acqua Santa, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Designer and planner, Jove Meyer Events, created a style that combined the Italian garden with a fun hipster Brooklyn vibe. The Wild Ivy brought in florals with bursts of color and unique dramatic pieces including an arch of blooms and an ombre petal aisle.

This is just a sneak peek, but I am so, so, SO excited to share more of the amazing work from the whole team including, stationery by Fourteen-Forty, wedding cake by Sugar Flower Cake Shop, cake cups by Alana Jones-Mann, cinematography by Valerie Barnes, hair styling by Once Upon A Bride, make-up by Sally Duvall, and fashions from Brooklyn Tailors, Hushed Commotion, Catbird, Chromatic Gallerie, and Comfy Clothing. Also, a big thanks to our models, real couple, Lilian and Kayden. You guys are awesome!

You may be wondering, What is a styled shoot? Styled wedding shoots have become very popular as a way for professionals to showcase their work, try new and interesting things that they want to share with their clients, update their portfolio, get press, and network. The team comes together with the plan to trade their services and products for photos and press. This is not a real wedding, but we hope it give couples inspiration. It is a lot of hard work, but it is very rewarding and a lot of fun. The last styled shoot I did had a whimsical retro theme. Check it out here!

I’m looking forward to sharing many more photos from this garden shoot soon!
