At the end of July, on a gorgeous summer evening – I had the incredible honor of photographing a Kate Spade Inspired Wedding Editorial Feature for What’s Up? Weddings Magazine! Ah! When we arrived at the Tidewater Inn in Easton, I kept saying “I can’t believe this is REAL!” as my eyes kept getting bigger and my jaw inched its way to the floor! Everything about this shoot was styled to perfection!
A mix of black and gold, with stripes and metallic accents made for the perfect backdrop and an abundant cluster of hydrangea and ruffled roses danced across the table! Add in local beer, wine, rum, and food – It was truly perfect! I’m so excited to reveal this shoot today now that the latest issue of What’s Up? Weddings Magazine has hit stands! I still cannot believe that I had the honor of photographing this shoot for one of my favorite local publications! Thank you Carolyn & the What’s Up Team for this opportunity!
