Okay ya’ll, I think so far, this has been the BEST shoot of my career!!!
Since September of 2015 I have been wanting to do a winter wedding. After my Styled Shoot in August I was really itching to do another. I had been asking around on my creative groups on Facebook for vendors. This time I decided that I wanted an event planner/designer. I liked planning my first one but… it really didn’t go as planned. I had two planers drop my projects just after a few weeks of taking me on. But third times definitely the charm because as I desperately started posting for an event planner/designer I found Aimee of A. Griffin Events; by our second conversation we were already brainstorming and constantly on Pinterest!!! I was so glad that my planner had a similar vision of the “Out of the Box” Winter Wonderland Wedding as I did. We came up with key words for our shoot, like: Cozy, Vintage, Simple, and Out of the Box. Words like these REALLY helped when it came to making the decisions about decor.
Aimee gathered up one amazing vendor after another, and everything was going great but…the couple we had to model for us–broke up!! But Aimee was able to find us models. One thing that I LOVED about this shot more than ANYTHING was that we were blessed to be able to have other Rocklands Farm vendors! So not only did Aimee used to live there and that we used them as a venue BUT our florist was based on the farm and our groom was a manager there! How cool is that!?!?
Here is the list of all of our fantastic vendors:
