We’re so excited to finally be able to share this styled shoot with you! Earlier this summer, we got together with our good friends and incredibly talented wedding creatives to plan a unique styled shoot. We didn’t have a real starting point, but soon Alicia suggested we do something other than a wedding. The rehearsal dinner concept came to mind, and when the idea to use a Farm to Table theme was thrown out there we hit the ground running. A late night at our studio and a few hundred ideas later, we had narrowed down the direction of the shoot. Next, was to get others involved to help make it a reality. Long time friends of our family own Cedar Hill Farm, and thanks to their generosity we had a location that was absolutely perfect for the shoot. One afternoon the 4 of us walked the fields at Cedar Hill and found a quaint little spot between two old chicken coops, across from a sheep pasture. We were in love, and the inspiration wheels were turning. Thanks to the planning miracles Heather Miller is always making happen, we had a real life Bride and Groom to be with their family on board to be our models, not to mention last minute chair rentals and cafe light stringing like no one’s business. Everyone who came together for this shoot were so wonderful to work with, we can’t say how much of a pleasure it was to work with them all!
One of the best parts of the entire day, was the fact that this styled shoot morphed into more than just a staged rehearsal dinner… it became a real dinner! After we staged the scene and took the photos, the chairs were sat in, the food was eaten, the decor was enjoyed, and the laugher was real. We all stood back and found that this had become more than we anticipated, and in such an amazing way.
