Celebrating Summer
The idea for this unique shoot came from a love of outdoor fun and relaxation. We wanted to celebrate the special time when the weather breaks and we break out flip flops & swimsuits and stargaze around the campsite, bellies full of s’mores.The couple’s stationery was both playful and sophisticated with watercolor painted illustrations and copper foil accents. Amber Dominique Designs used canvas and kraft papers to highlight the rich colors, vintage line art and detailed map.

Rustic Beach Bride All Set To Camp
Our bride had an ethereal glow in her House of Maya dress Allure Dress and hair by Kelsey and makeup by Dhalia Edwards. The soft curls, lace and intricate beading on her gown created a strong contrast to the rough underbrush in the woods and the grooms casual suspenders and khaki's. Pearl jewelry, provided by ImajjE Jewelry Designs, adorned the bride in a simple and classic fashion and tied in to the pearl buttons on her dress.
The wood farmhouse table and wood slice chargers provided a rustic backdrop to a collection of glammed up, traditional copper camping elements, including flatware and mugs. The copper coordinated with the copper foil place cards and menu accents. The sweetheart table was adorned with a lush garland swag that was sprinkled with neutral colored blooms that stood out against the greenery.
