{shoot} in the garden

you'll be itching for spring after seeing this garden wedding from steph at {steph fowler photography}. here is what steph had to say... "i had this idea of a garden themed shoot for sometime now. i wanted it to have a english tea in the garden feel to it. the view from my place overlooks the learning garden in venice, and i would stand on my balcony and think how it would make such a lovely place to shoot a couple. i photographed tiffany and dan's wedding a few weeks before this, and when I met them, I felt like they would be the perfect couple for this fun project".

{#131} paper cranes + china blue

{colors} china blue, lavender, white

{description} a few months ago my dear friend lydia asked if i would create an inspiration board for her friend shana who is getting married next fall.  lydia basically told me that the bride has been collecting antique china and especially loves blue and white china.   the bride is also a fan of purple and lydia suggested a softer shade of lavender would be better with the blue and white china pieces.  the couple wants to include asian elements in their wedding with charming paper cranes and cherry blossoms.  i cannot wait to see the final result of shana's wedding.
