Featured! Ruffled Blog // Cinco de Mayo Elopement

I was asked to photograph a colorful Cinco de Mayo shoot for Ruffled Blog, featured today…check it out! I teamed up with the ever so talented Rebekah of A & B Creative to bring this color infused shoot to life. The inspiration for the design of this shoot came from Mexican scenery, from dry and arid to lush and bright. The warm wood tones, antique spools and antlers contrasted the bright cigar boxes, patterned plates, and vintage Mexican textiles. Aren’t the florals to die for? I absolutely loved them especially since they featured my favorite flowers: peonies and ranunculus. The bride’s hair was inspired by Frida Kahlo’s classic look, which was a perfect complement to the “Frida” wall. If you want to read more about the design behind the shoot and see a whole gallery of images from our shoot, check out Ruffled!
