White Rose and Gypsophila Wedding at Willow Brooke Farm

White Rose and Gypsophila Wedding at Willow Brooke Farm

White roses and gypsophila, more commonly known as baby’s breath, will always be an eternal choice for weddings. Lately, gypsophila has been having a bit of a wedding renaissance so I’m always happy to put the Rose of Sharon spin on this classic flower. For Michaela & Landon’s big day in late September, they wanted timeless white flowers to accompany the beautiful natural landscape of their venue, Willow Brooke Farm.

She loved everything about it, but wanted to add a touch of something blue.

Love Knows No Bounds Elopement at Stone Chapel at MattLane Farm

For this shoot, the amazing team at Brittany Bloom Events envisioned an amazing day focused on inclusivity, celebrating all forms of love. The beautiful, ivy covered Stone Chappel at MattLane Farm served as the glorious backdrop for our swoon worthy same-sex couple models Michael and Doug. Our role was to create an airy, ethereal ambiance for the shoot.
