A 1920’s Wild Basin Lodge Styled Shoot

It was such a dream to see our styled shoot featured on Glamour and Grace on Monday.  Its hard to believe that the shoot took place 5 months ago and I still look at the images and get excited to see how they all turned out.  Its so satisfying to see a vision from my head come to life and its even more amazing to see the talent and work ethic that came from each of our other fantastic vendors.

This one shoot has inspired me to continue to push myself creatively and to do two styled shoots a year from now on, allowing me to challenge myself in my shooting and my inspiration, and to work with other amazing wedding vendors to create a cohesive shared vision.

In this post, I’m going to share some of my absolute favorite images, highlighting the vendors whose work and time made this a magical shoot from start to finish.

For the base of the shoot, we started with the great rustic backdrop at Wild Basin Lodge.  The idea was to pick a location that didn’t scream 1920’s and to rely on the styling and creating of vignettes to emphasize the look and feel of an elegant 1920’s mountain wedding.

Then we found our models, Daisy and Lauren.  A real life couple who got  married a couple of years ago, they were so, so amazing in front of the camera.

Lilli Black from Bella Calla created the florals for each of our vignettes and she rocked it out of the park, especially with the bridal bouquets.  We went with the color palette of neutrals, corals, browns, and greens, and added feathers and pearls to give it an added 1920’s boost.

Such an amazing shoot and I’m so thankful to have connected with so many awesome women in our industry.  I also have to give a big shout out and thank you to my wife, Heather, who was the backbone of the timeline during the shoot.  She made sure I knew just how long I had to shoot each vignette to make sure we got everything in before dark.  She also lent some muscle to the furniture moving and planned the vendor celebration afterwards!

As a recap, here are the vendors once again.  Check them out and contact them for your wedding!
