Romantic Castle Elopement

For this editorial shoot at The Themed Workshop, I wanted to create a story of two lovers running away and meeting at hilltop stone ruins to secretly exchange their vows. The glow of the setting sun made the golden bracken and clematis vine come to life against the stone. This shoot was a wild whirlwind, trying to beat the fading light, and I loved the magical results.

Neo-Tropical Romance | Cover Shoot for SLPC Bride and Groom

I was asked by Salt Lake Park City Bride and Groom to design some flowers to compliment the new HSL Restaurant in Salt Lake City. This restaurant has some of the coolest tile and decor, all in so many shades of beautiful green (my favorite color!) There is a distinct tropical vibe, so that became the concept for our shoot.

Tropical climates are so vastly different from my home desert climate of Utah, so the sheer variety of plants growing nearly everywhere is so inspiring to me! I don't work with tropical flowers very often, as, in the floral world, they usually feel overly-bright and bulky. However, when I visit tropical landscapes, I am instead drawn to the wild textures and more delicate bits. I love the fluttering maidenhair fern growing along the rainforest floor, tiny fairy-like orchids feeding off ancient trees and golden grasses swaying along the sandy beaches. These elements in subtle, earthy shades became the inspiration for my take on tropical flowers.

Intimate Studio Love Session

Last spring, I had the privilege of meeting and working with Lauren Bledsoe. She is a budding photographer, but has an incredible talent and artistic eye. This airy, love-filled session was the result of her vision and the incredible variety Mother Nature displays to tempt my foraging fingers in late spring.

Fading Light in the Garden

This collaboration with Alixann Loosle Photography is a favorite from earlier this summer. I especially loved working with the abundant June garden roses and dogwood to create a stunningly minimal floral look. Gown by Gateway Bridal and fabric/ribbon by Silk and Willow.
