Rose Gold Styled Wedding Shoot at Kensington Country Club

Styled Photo shoots for wedding professionals are always a really fun way to exercise our creative muscles, and design something just for us-that is hopefully still accessible to the modern bride. 

My most recent styled shoot at Kensington Country Club was one of the most fun and gorgeous styled weddings I've had the pleasure of shooting. Working with Rebecca Ellis at the venue, as well as every other vendor and model was a delight , and the product came out wonderfully. 

We worked with a Rose gold vintage theme, incorporating pastel pinks and rusty silver. 

Paradise Paper Shop did a phenomenal job with the romantic dusty pink and gold stationary suite.

The hair and makeup by Blue Water Salon was nothing short of perfection.

Final touch ups

Our bride model, Kelsey Kohler did a fantastic job.

The hair by Blue Water Salon is just lovely. 

As is this flawless makeup

Our groom model, Mark Bowerman, looked dashing in his attire by Black Tie Tuxedo.

Our little ring bearer model, Peyton, is possibly the cutest child ever. 

Modeling with style. 

To compliment our adorable ring bearer, our flower girl model Willow is just adorably perfect.

The floral from Naples Floral Design was just perfect for this uber romantic, rose gold style.

 Her dress by Tie The Knot Bridal Couture complimented this romantic theme wonderfully.

Did I mention how adorable she was?

There were so many adorable design and decor elements, provided by Sweet Southern Charm, who never ceases to amaze. 

Trying to be the flower girl. 

This is the personification of bridal elegance.

The menu cards were the perfect compliment to these rose textured linens by  Connie Duglin Specialty Linen.

The sweetheart table is pure perfection. 

Sweet Southern Charm did an amazing job styling these romantic details.

Yum. 

Sweet as a sweetheart table can be. 

For the celebration.

Love the large, lush chairs utilized.

This picture is everything. 

 She wouldn't wear the crown so he did. 

 Paradise Paper Shop knocked it out of the park with the menu cards.

Sweet way to serve salt and pepper.

Finally sitting down! 

Thanks to all of the vendors, this styled shoot turned out just perfect. Cannot wait to collaborate again soon!

Waterside Wedding at The Westin

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep 

because reality is finally better than your dreams."

-Dr. Seuss

This fantastic couple featured here today were so full of love and joy with one another, that the above quote kept running through my head. I think it personifies Kyla and Cherri perfectly. These lovely ladies were married on October 17, 2014 at The Westin at Tarpon Point Marina in Cape Coral, Florida. 

 The entire day was just perfect, with delightful weather, stunning waterfront views, and more joy than one would think possible to fit into one day. 

The ladies both turned out magnificently, with hair and makeup done by the New Barry Antons Salon.

 Cherri looks so elegant and classic in these black and white "getting ready" shots.

Her happiness was written all over her face the entire day.

Kyla eagerly awaiting Cherri as she descends the stairs for their "first look" photos.

This little brown eyed beauty tried her best to steal the show all day!

The bridal party all walked down the aisle to the sounds of the steel drums, provided by Tim Deleany..

Such a handsome guy!

 Holding back the tears as she walks down the aisle. 

 Here she is again, showing off that adorable face and sprinkling her petals

Such a gorgeous bride, on her way to meet her future wife.

The ceremony was full of  personal details, and of course lots of laughs. 

Two sets of hands, joining as one.

 The couple had the officiate Dr. Dan Lamey,  bless this bottle of Grey Goose (along with all of their guests), for them share each anniversary and toast to a successful and blessed union.

This was a very tight knit family unit. So wonderful to witness.

First kiss as a married couple!!

All of the beautiful ladies.

Walking hand in hand as a newly married couple.

So beautiful to see a couple so in love.

Simply stunning and full of happiness! These stunning wedding gowns were provided by none other than David's Bridal.

Timeless and elegant.

 We were blessed with a perfect day, cool breezes, and gorgeous lighting

 Aren't they adorable?

 The detail on each gown was breathtaking, and fit each individual girl perfectly.

Pure romance.

 Their doggies. Mr. Oliver and Ms. Allie were very important to them,and had to be included. how adorable is this little shirt?

All of the delightful florals with the ever important Grey Goose. 

The perfect family portrait. 

The reception was full of fun, nautical styled details from tropical flowers (provided by Signature Floral and Events), fishnets, seashells, and more! All of the decor items were provided by the mother of the bride, Cheryl Costa.

 The rings framed on a sailboat-fun little detail. 

Adirondack chair seating cards. So cute.

The fabulous seashell inspired cakes were done by Publix bakery. 

The guest "sign in", a pair of ores-such a fun themed detail!

Gorgeous outside view of The Westin at night. Amazing venue for a wedding, and their wedding coordinator Tosha Wollney did a great job tying everything together. 

As you can see, this is one couple that is simply meant to be together, and everyone could tell from every smile, look, laugh, embrace, and kiss shared that day. It was a delight photographing this wedding and I wish Kyla and Cherri all the luck in the world for a lifetime of happiness!!
