I just returned from a whirlwind 4-day trip to Las Vegas for WPPI ( where we had virtually NO cell service…more on that later ) so I’m a little behind on blogging this good news. My boho-chic editorial shoot for Elissa Keno was picked up by two of my favorite wedding blogs for a dual feature on Ruffled and Weddings Unveiled. A big thank-you to Amanda with Ruffled and Kirstin, Brooke & Terri with Unveiled for all the amazing support they offer the photo-community. Its always a thrill to see my work on their blogs. I’m pretty sure all of our 2010 & 2011 brides are already dedicated followers of both sites, but just in case…here’s a reminder to add them to your google reader for all the latest & greatest wedding inspiration :)

On a completely different note, the results from the Winter 2009 ISPWP contest are in & we had a few wins! It’s especially important to me to have placed 6th & 9th in the “Emotional Impact” category, as the emotional moments are always a major focus with each wedding we shoot. I’m so blessed to work with couples who share my vision for capturing the raw emotion of their day. Congrats to Kilbi & Sean for BOTH winning images in the Emotional Impact category & to Ellison & Jeremy for their rainy day engagement win! Stay tuned for a barrage of blog posts in the coming week…wedding season has officially begun!!

  6. Congratulations Kellie! You rock!

  7. Congratulations from me too! I love that engagement portrait so much.

When Raleigh-based wedding planner Elissa Keno contacted me about setting up this boho-inspired editorial, I knew it would be right up my alley. I’ve always been a sucker for anthropolgie-esque decor & whimsical wedding accents, so when I arrived to find all of this loveliness in one place, I was in heaven. From the vintage doorknobs to the burlap table runner & dried lavender accents, every detail worked together to create a lovely rustic garden feel. The mini-bundt cake “stand” is a true testament to Elissa’s creativity….I’ll let you guys guess what it actually is :)

Kudos to our model Liz for braving the chilly temps to make this shoot happen ( she makes it look easy! ) and thanks to my new studio intern Katie ( more on that later.. ) for rocking the reflector to make a dreary winter day look like spring. Be sure to pick up the Spring issue of Weddings Unveiled & you just might see a few more of these shots in Elissa’s new ad. Hope you guys enjoy this little slice of vintage goodness…
