Greetings sweet readers,

I have a treat for you today! I have been chomping at the bit (that’s cowgirl speak for super excited) to show you this inspiration shoot KT Merry Photography and I put together. In celebration of it being featured on Style Me Pretty I wanted to do a little give away. Have you seen Abby Larson’s (the genius behind Style Me Pretty) new book? Well it is a visual feast and FULL of helpful how to’s and DIY’s that get my stamp of approval for being realistic.

Now on to the inspiration:

This shoot took place in the historic Craneway Pavilion across the San Francisco bay. It has the most amazing views of the bay, and huge light filed windows. We wanted to shoot to reflect the individual beauty of brides, and showcase fresh hair, makeup, and gowns.  That is why we looked for a location that was a bit more industrial and out of the norm for wedding locations.

We pulled a supper amazing team together and they all really did an amazing job. Mimi & Taylor were the amazing talents behind the make up and hair, and I have to say they are some if the most talented I have seen. Gowns from Ever After, Tara LaTour and Amy Kuschel  were so different and stunning against the stark linen backdrops provided by Hartman Studio Rentals. PJ from Milk Glass Vintage Rentals brought her beautiful vintage finds like chairs and trunks and glassware. Karen from Lila and Sage joined us with amazing cakes and of course who can forget the bar set up. Bella Umbrella sent us the prettiest umbrellas and parasols that added such a whimsical touch to the shoot. 

You can see part one of this shoot here, with some rad recipes from Lila and Sage. 

Thank you so much to our amazing vendors! It was so much fun working with such a great group of creatives! A huge thank you to KT and Chad of KT Merry Photography for (once again) amazing images! And hats off to Mimi & Taylor, they truly are amazing talents.. and supper sweet too!
