i'll be honest.  i'm not a big fan of styled wedding shoots.  often times they are so unrealistic.  a gorgeous vintage table in the middle of an open field.  a sweetheart table beautifully styled for two on a private beach.  really?  when have you ever been to a wedding like that!?


when i had the opportunity to style a wedding shoot for inframe bride i jumped on it.  why?  because this was my opportunity to style a gorgeous, yet realistic wedding that brides could truly duplicate.


i was given the theme "winter" by kristine crawford of inframe bride and then i built my team.  only the best of the best from the ann arbor wedding industry (of course!).  here is my team of absolutely ah-mazing professionals: floral design by sweet pea floral design, images by abby rose photo, dessert by sweet heather anne, stationery by elevated press, lighting by light up my event, linens by linen hero and last but not least a huge thank you to vinology for letting us use the fabulous bubble room as the scene for our wedding reception.  here are a few images to tide you over until *fingers crossed* a big announcement this winter...

we were inspired by the colors of a frozen river...light blues, gray blues, and neutral greys and tans

to really give a dramatic effect we brought in lighting (which i highly recommend for EVERY event)!
