Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards (Part 2)

August 24, 2018

I’m so excited to share Part 2 of Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards for the Fall/Winter 2018 issue of Modern Luxury Weddings Atlanta! (Be sure to check out part 1 here!)

Our beautiful model bride, Tia, and our handsome model groom, Stephen, were the perfect addition to our styled shoot! The Berta gown that we selected was absolutely gorgeous! The sheer bodice and lace detail enhanced the intricate patterns found throughout the vineyard! The clean lines and European fit of the groom’s black suit was a great complement! Here’s a peek courtesy of Casey Green Photography:

The tablescape provide a picturesque setting for a romantic dinner! The tabletop structure, complete with bold floral and lush greens, was used to create a beautiful contrast with Yonah Mountain. The candle accents, French details, and ornate stationery atop of back sequins embodied “Dark Romance meets French Allure” while the cake appeared to float gracefully in the background on a clear, acrylic pedestal!

I am forever grateful for the amazing group of Atlanta wedding professionals who shared their time, products, and services to make this shoot more magical than I could have ever dreamed! Thank you!

What’s your favorite part of Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards? Feel free to share in the comments. I’d love to know!

Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards (Part 1)

August 22, 2018

Happy Wedding Wednesday! When Modern Luxury Weddings Atlanta asked me to plan and design a styled shoot for the Fall/Winter 2018 issue, I was beyond elated! The inspiration was “Dark Romance meets French Allure”. The location was Yonah Mountain Vineyards in Cleveland, Georgia! After my first visit to the vineyard, I was in complete awe about the beautiful scenery and venue!

Planning this styled shoot definitely holds a special place in my heart because I had an opportunity to take a step outside of the “city lights” and truly bond with the mountainside. The smell of the vineyard, the sound of nature, the sight of Yonah Mountain, the feel of the warm sun and moisture in the air, and the taste of handcrafted wine definitely sparked great inspiration for this shoot! During the planning process, I wanted to ensure that the final product would transcend space and time while promoting the use of all 5 senses through photographs!

I have so many favorite details from this shoot! I absolutely adore the ceremony space that we created on one of the hilltops overlooking the twenty acre vineyard! The nude drapery, outlined in black, with accents of bold fuchsia, red, and pink floral was the perfect frame for our bride and groom. The gold-trimmed black onyx chairs provided the right amount of romantic sophistication!

I am so thankful to the wedding professionals and models who worked effortlessly to bring my vision to life! Stay tuned for part 2 of Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards!

Garden Glam Wedding Styled Shoot 12 “Springtime in Dallas is backdrop for an outdoor wedding celebration. I recently teamed up with a talented group of Dallas wedding professionals to create a Garden Glam styled wedding shoot. As wedding professionals, we are hired to assist clients in creating the wedding of their dreams. This styled shoot gave us an opportunity to spread our creative wings and share a bit of inspiration to couples planning an outdoor wedding. We selected a color palette that included peach, shades of pink and red, and metallic gold. These colors perfectly complemented the natural outdoor elements in the garden at Marie Gabrielle. Our goal was to include lots of detail that were a bit outside of the norm including a farm table, candied apple place cards, and a garden soil ceremony.

Our Garden Glam styled wedding shoot took place on a perfect spring Dallas day! The husband and wife duo behind Ben Q. Photography were on hand to capture all of the details with film photography! Ducky Bob’s provided our farm table and the elegant gold tabletop dinnerware. The Southern Table did an amazing job with creating our floral decor using lush springtime blooms! The Bee’s Knees designed all of our wedding stationery, including rhinestone embellished invitations. Sugar Bee Sweets created a beautiful floral adorned, iced wedding cake! Binzario provided a jaw-dropping, couture bridal gown with lots of intricate detail. Marilona Makeovers and hairstylist, Ashley Bristo, were on hand to ensure that our bride looked absolutely stunning! Nails by Avonne provided a manicure for our bride complete with a chic, lace overlay! De’Ana Davis and Kelvin Wilson acted as our model bride and groom for the day!”

Styled Shoot: Outdoor Elegance in Highland Park, TX

January 22, 2011

I am still celebrating the launch of my new website! I feel that it’s important for a website to embody the true personality behind the company brand. Prior to launching, I needed to get some photos for my new website. My vision was to bring the elegance of an indoor ballroom to the natural beauty of an outdoor setting. I contacted a few of my Dallas friends to collaborate for the shoot. This group of talented event professionals helped me bring my vision to life. We setup at Davis Park in Highland Park, Texas. Together, we created an elegant outdoor table setting in addition to a yummy dessert display!

Catie Ronquillo was the photographer for the Outdoor Elegance photo shoot. Here’s a peek:
