Jasper Winery Photo Shoot - Part 2

We promised you more pictures from the Photo Shoot that we did at the Jasper Winery with Photos by Aaron Thomas. Since we were in a winery at the fall time, of course, we couldn't resist a S'mores and Hot Chocolate Buffet to share. The amazing this about this shoot were not only the pictures, but the clean-up time afterwards - YUM!

Jasper Winery Photo Shoot

We LOVE weddings!  Plain and simple. But what are designers to do when they have lots of ideas running around in their heads and no wedding to decorate for with those ideas?  Why....you style a Photo Shoot which is exactly what we did at Jasper Winery last month.  We had so much fun with talented Aaron Thomas - our photographer, Pure Bridal - our wonderful fashion expert and Peri Baldwin Strong - our own expert photo shoot stylist who put it all together.
Barring the sun setting in the wrong place [how dare it!],  long shadows getting in the way, the wind blowing feathers to who knows where, running here and there to make sure the details were perfect, we think that the afternoon went by way too fast - that happens when you are having fun!

We have lots of pictures and don't want to spoil you all at once, so we will tease you with these. We are absolutely in love with the plaid and pheasant feather theme!
