Ever since I launched the Annapolis Wedding Blog, Bayside Bride, with my best friend Krista – we’ve had the opportunity to work with so many incredible local vendors! One of the things that I’ve enjoyed most, is having the ability to photograph styled shoots and flex my creative muscles! Earlier this week, I gathered with a few very special people to create the shoot you’ll see today! I shot a few rolls of film that are making their way to the lab, so today’s post features only the digital results from the shoot!
But first… I’m excited to announce that this December I’ll be a part of the Layers of Lovely event at Garnish Boutique in Baltimore! It’s a unique type of event that brings together a group of like minded wedding professionals and brides in an intimate setting! I’m including more information below for any newly engaged love birds who are interested! I would absolutely love to see some of my brides at the event or any of their recently engaged friends… Rumor has it that the goodie bags are to die for!
And without further ado, the Layers of Lovely inspired shoot!
