Check out this adorable girl! Greg & Alexis had me take pictures to celebrate their daughter’s 6-month birthday, and despite the hard work that being a model is, we coaxed some smiles out of her. Loved this vintage red coat… you can’t go wrong with big, bold, classic color!

Terminal City Club Wedding | Diem + Joe

Diem and Joe celebrated their wedding day in early September at the Terminal City Club. Upon our arrival at the Club, Jani and I were blown away by the classy and opulent decor that Diem and Joe chose for their reception space. We started the day in the President’s room following Erica from White Dahlia Wedding & Events around as she magically transformed the room into a thing of elegance. The striped-black chair and table decor and shiny candelabras that Erica arranged through Absolute Events & Rentals and All Occasions Chic Decor Rentals made the space shine. These objects of old-world opulence, accentuated by touches of red, purple, and fuchsia floral centerpieces, were a feast for the eyes. Diem and Joe chose to do a first look on the patio before we headed off along the West Hastings area for photos with their wedding party. Diem looked amazing with her vintage feather and lace, along with the amazing makeup and hair, and of course her birdcage veil (gotta be my favorite kind of veil). Joe was sporting a black tux and sneakers, which added that little touch of personality to his look. Officiated by Rev. Brent Sheppard, the wedding ceremony on the patio was perfect that evening; the weather and lighting were ideal, as the soothing modern renditions from the string trio carried in the wedding party for a intimate outdoor ceremony against a downtown Vancouver backdrop. The dinner reception hosted by the Terminal City Club staff was fabulous as usual, and we particularly loved the heart-felt speeches that even brought a tear to Joe’s eyes on an occasion or two. The evening continued with dancing, a photobooth, and further celebrations well into the night. Congratulations Diem and Joe on a beautiful wedding!

Sneak Peek: A vintage blue bicycle for two | Jen + Patrick

Jen and Pat are getting married next year in Maui, but wanted to have a set of engagement photos done right here is sunny (ahem..) Vancouver. We had been planning this session for quite some time, but weather simply didn’t want to cooperate, so at one point, I think we resigned to scheduling something for next Spring. Then, as if our prayers were answered, a whole week of sun! So there we are, out in the middle of nowhere taking photos with the warm sun over their shoulders and I’m looking at the photos we’re taking and I think, wow…Jen and Pat are amazing and this feels like Spring – this is going to be fun. And it was exactly that, a beautiful sunny Spring-like Autumn day with Jen and Pat and their cool vintage blue bicycle, and their photos are looking so rad, I think they’re going to have a hard time choosing a favorite (I hope!). Jen and Pat brought two looks for the session and makeup and hair was provided by the ever talented Jayna Marie. This is just volume 1, can’t wait to finish up more photos to post.

Venn Workshop Wrap-up Finale

Kellan Studios — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 01:13:14 +0000

I can’t believe this is the final post and it is literally full of DELICIOUSNESS! We had one final styled shoot modeled by the lovely John and Kristyn. Kristyn sported another vintage 60’s wedding dress from Etsy and John sported some southern summer goodness. They can pull of some seriously intense looks directly into the lens! I adore the pops of saffron that Elisha from Petal Flower Co. put together for us. So striking against the wood and green backgrounds. After this final shoot we headed down to the AWESOME sperry tent to behold the superpowers of Lynn from Sunshine and Rainshower styling some fantastic tablescapes and Maria of Pharsalia Events cooking us some of the most memorable food of my life. ONE TWO PUNCH to the senses. Most of the food was literally picked from the gardens that day as well as the floral centerpieces being trimmed from the gardens around the grounds. Can you spell FRESH? Let’s dive in and I will break down some more details as we go.

Lynn made the runners and napkins as well as all the paper products. She also assembled the silk flowers petal by petal and printed the wood leaves. So stinking amazing!

Now buckle your seat belts to view some tasty vitlins!

Figs picked fresh from the tree outside the kitchen window. The combination of a sweet fig and tangy blue cheese…oh my word. One of my favorite choices on my plate.

The smell of this smoked pork filled the entire tent.

Lauren & Paschal, A Nashville Farm Wedding

Harwell Photography — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 18:18:47 +0000

Lauren & Paschal had a simply magical wedding on Lauren’s Farm where they first met.

They were introduced by one of Lauren’s longtime friends. He knew that they had a lot in common, including a love of organic farming. It did not take them long to recognize that they were meant for each-other.

From the start, Lauren, along with her mother, Teresa and sister Abby, had a vision of what the wedding would look like; vintage, romantic and organic. Although creativity and design is inherent in the Palmer women, they solicited the assistance of Nashville Wedding planner Dori Thornton of the Social Office to insure that their vision was brought to life.

It was obvious to all that the only proper location for this joyous affair would be the farm that first brought Lauren & Paschal together.

The ceremony took place in the exact spot that Lauren & Paschal first met, and the reception was in the beautiful valley where Lauren’s greenhouse and sprout house were located. The head table was a beautiful wooden table made from trees on the farm by the bride’s Father. The food was all organic and vegan, some of the produce was actually grown right on Lauren’s Farm.

The couple made their getaway in a 1940’s vintage truck under a sky of sparklers and adorned with a banner that read, ” Love is the earth’s most natural renewable energy”.

Congratulations to such an adorable, special couple!
