a shoot // roaming natives

you know its going to be good when six photographers get together; they've named themselves the roaming natives and bring you this lovely inspiration shoot today. i was thrilled when they asked me to do some flowers for them and even more thrilled to have them want me to make a bouquet and hair garland of my choosing. i was inspired by the beauty of the end of summer and coming fall. most of this bouquet was forged for (with a few elements bought from a local flower farmer). i especially love how the hair garland turned out, i just snipped wild clematis plumes from the side of the highway to create this simple but stunning piece. you can see more of this shoot, along with complete vendor listing, on inspired by this today.

a love celebration // kelty + justin

i don't know what to say about this one here, other than it was the best non-wedding wedding i have ever been to; in honor of two of the sweetest people i have ever met. kelty and justin are truly beautiful people and they threw one hell of an event to celebrate the love they share for each other and the family and friends that are so dear to them. i am beyond honored to call them a friend. see more of this little love celebration, complete with vendor credits, over on 100 layer cake today.
