Another little thing I did recently was host a styled shoot with my friends. We rallied together (photographer friends, seamstress friend, and me, floral friend) and had one of the best days! We flew through the 2 hours we had at our rental, but were having such a great time we moved to a park to shoot some more.
It was such a great experience to work with friends. Especially as we all try to grow our portfolios and try out new opportunities to be creative.
The dress my friend made was incredible. And my friend who modeled was stunning!!!
This is also the super soft launch of my floral company... that really isn't a business yet, since I don't really want to take on clients this year. But I am trying to explore what is out there for me on my own through floral design. So we will see where it takes me!
For more, here are some links to my friends and I's instagrams

The Elia Wedding Venue Wilmington, NC | Pizza & Pearls Styled Shoot
~ Art-deco inspired wedding photoshoot in Downtown Wilmington, NC ~
Tumblr media
Earlier this year, I participated in a styled shoot in Wilmington at the brand-new event venue, The Elia. The venue is located downtown on Front Street in a historic building and has a glamorous art-deco aesthetic.
I was really excited by the concept of this styled shoot. The idea of blending an elevated and elegant aesthetic (the pearls) with a more casual and affordable feel (the pizza) was very intriguing to me. Recently, I've noticed a rising trend in wedding photography of this new kind of paparazzi editorial style, for lack of a better term, that features direct flash and candid movement. This style exudes glamour and spontaneity, and I thought it aligned nicely with the shoot concept. This shoot was the perfect opportunity for me to experiment with this style without the pressure of an actual wedding. As with any creative endeavor, some of these shots turned into successes, while others fell short of expectations. This shoot would not have been possible without all of the incredible work and participation from all the vendors. A full list of the vendors can be found at the end of this blog post.

Venue: The Elia, Downtown Wilmington, NC
The Elia is a stunning event and wedding venue space in the heart of Downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. The venue can host up to 175 guests with over 7,000 square feet of indoor event space, making it one of Downtown Wilmington's largest wedding venue options. The Elia is part of a historic building contributing to its art-deco aesthetic. Unfortunately, due to the building being a historic space, there were lots of exposed piping, electrical, and ductwork, that had to be edited out in Photoshop. This tends to be the case with historic venue spaces. This venue is located in a prime location and is surrounded by many local hotels, restaurants, cafés, boutiques, bars, and the iconic Wilmington Riverwalk.

Pearls
The gorgeous bridal attire for this shoot was provided by Something Bleu Bridal House in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The pearl detailing on the veil, the matching pearl jewelry, and the white silk dress gave a luxurious and clean aesthetic to this portion of the shoot. This style of slip dress has become really popular lately, this one elevates the look with a beautiful medium length train, knee high slit, and perfectly placed cowl neckline. Some dresses in this style have the tendency to be looser in the bust because of the cowl neck, but this one had a bit more structure which minimized any possible wardrobe malfunctions. I also love a good veil, incorporating the veil in your photos can really add to the atmosphere and mood, giving a dreamy and ethereal atmosphere.

Paparazzi
Like I mentioned previously, the aesthetic for this portion of the shoot allowed me to experiment with the paparazzi editorial style I had seen trending on social media. This style of photography can be quite stunning and displays the connection between a couple. When trying to capture this aesthetic more natural and authentic poses work best. Capturing movement and realistic poses works well and helps to catch that paparazzi style.

Pizza
The delicious pizzas for this shoot were provided by Mellow Mushroom Pizza in Wilmington. Catering your wedding with a local pizza restaurant is a great idea to add a fun, inexpensive twist to your special day. Pizza is a classic, fan-favorite dish that most people would be pleasantly surprised to enjoy on your wedding day. This catering option is very customizable and allows for fun and creative options for your quests. Most pizza places have multiple allergen and dietary restriction options that will fit your guests’ dietary needs. A fun and quirky way to incorporate the pizza into your aesthetic is to have an “I love you with every pizza my heart” sign. This fun signage also serves as a great photo opportunity next to your catering area.

Art-Deco
The overall aesthetic of The Elia contributed to the Art-Deco vibes felt all day long. For the pizza couple, a vintage car was brought in for the couple’s arrival. This vintage touch was the perfect addition to this couple’s section of the shoot. Bringing in an old-fashioned car can allow for a fun arrival, send-off, and general photo opportunity for a couple and their guests. We chose to do the traditional champagne spray in front of the vintage car. This is such a fun activity for couples to do and helps bring their personality to life in their photos.

Solo Bride
In addition to the two couple portions of this styled shoot, we had one solo bride as well. We were able to get some amazing detail shots during this section of the day. Many brides love to choose a perfume specific to their wedding day. In addition to getting detailed shots of the perfume bottle, capturing the bride applying the fragrance can create a beautiful and meaningful moment.

Old Lystra Inn Wedding Venue Chapel Hill | Emerald & Earth-tone
~ Elope NC and Green Wedding Guild Styled Shoot at Old Lystra Inn in Chapel Hill, NC ~
This past April I participated in a styled shoot challenge sponsored by Elope NC and Green Wedding Guild. Where 6 teams worked to plan and create a sustainable elopement using the following guidelines.
Flowers must be sourced locally and seasonally, and no floral foam may be used.
No “new” items may be purchased for this shoot. Decor may be rented, borrowed, or thrifted.
Attire & accessories may be pre-loved, from a rental company, or from a sustainable designer.
Food (if used) should be seasonally & locally inspired.
Stationery (if used) should contain recycled content, be sourced from sustainably managed forests, or in some other way promote sustainability (eg: seed paper, bamboo paper, etc.).
My team’s theme was emerald and earth-tone brunch with design elements inspired by antique Edwardian vibes since Old Lystra Inn was originally built circa 1890.

The Venue
I had never been to Old Lystra Inn, so I was in for a nice surprise. It’s located in Chapel Hill, only a 10 minute drive from downtown, but driving there I really felt like I was going home to the Appalachian mountains. It was a beautiful scenic drive, and I really felt like I was out in the country.
The inn itself is gorgeous as well. Despite being originally built around 1890, it has been completely renovated, but not in a way that takes away from the historic character. It was originally built around 1890 as the Windy Oaks Inn, then later became the home of Paul Green, the Pulitzer prize winning playwright, and is currently known as Old Lystra Inn.

Getting Ready
Since it’s an inn there are a lot of options for where couples can choose to get ready. The bride got ready in a room along the eastern side of the inn, with this amazing antique wardrobe I utilized to get some photos of the dress. While the groom got ready on the upper level.
Speaking of the dress, we worked with Beautiful and Borrowed Bridal to rent this amazing dress. They have a great selection of gowns for all sizes, and are a sustainable and affordable way to get the gown of your dreams.

The groom wore a gray suit, subtly incorporating emerald through his pocket square.

Since the theme was emerald, we obviously had to have some emerald jewelry. There was an emerald and silver wedding band with leaf detailing, an emerald and diamond engagement ring, and a green onyx and gold signet ring for the groom.

Ceremony
The ceremony took place in the back garden with the forest as a backdrop. Our florist, Shannon from Élan House, created this arch from dyed pampas grass in a myriad of green and teal hues.
"I wanted to create something out of the ordinary, using minimal blooms that could be used repeatedly. I played off the color choice of Emerald, which signifies balance and harmony. " - Shannon (Élan House)

Featuring live painting by Annie at Stroke of Whimsy. I am always astounded by live painters and their skill, but I think Annie in particular was amazing. She does such a great job at capturing movement and emotion.

Reception
The reception area was set up in a tent next to the venue with a sweetheart table, and guest table. Both tables repurposed decor from the ceremony, using the bouquet as a centerpiece for the guest table, and pampas grass decor at the sweetheart table. The  emerald china, wooden candlestick holders, earth toned depression glass goblets, and other decor
came from Southern Vintage Table in Hillsborough, NC. They have a huge selection of vintage/antique decor and accessories, and its really fun to browse their shop.
"This aesthetic started with the emerald jewel-tones complemented with earth-tones like browns, but the brunch theme was the star here. I really enjoyed featuring brunch treats, not only the food, but as an edible centerpiece. The small treats were pretty and on a variety of stands, with green fruits spread on the table beneath, so nearly every part of the table design was rented or edible. The decor from the ceremony was repurposed for the sweetheart table design, and we wanted to show that elopements can be beautiful without being extravagant." -Stephanie (Beauty & the Budget)

Portraits
On the other end of the venue, behind the log cabin, there is a vast forest with a fallen mossy log that is the perfect secluded spot for some quiet time with your partner. This would be a great place for a first look or a private vow exchange. It almost feels like you’ve taken a portal into a fairy tale land. If you’re not engaged it may be a good place to look for your Fae king 🙃
