This inspirational wedding photo shoot was inspired by the utter gorgeousness of the Arizona desert we live in - and take for granted. When we were scouting locations in beautiful Cave Creek, the desert floor literally sparkled with gold and silver flecks of Mica in the gravel, which led to my design of a shimmery, sparkly mirage of a desert wedding scene.
First, I have to thank some truly, truly unbelievable photographers... Andy and Raeleen Shepard of
Fancy Fin Photography. Wow. The images do the breathtaking scenery justice. Thank you for approaching me to design and coordinate the shoot. I LOVED working with such incredible talent! Also, huge thanks to the rest of my dream team on the shoot: Ivy with
The Garage By Ivy did all the outstanding floral, Kim with
The Event Essentials created the beautiful paper products, Deanna Foerstner of
Deanna Rene styled the model's hair and makeup to absolute perfection, and... the model... jealous much? She's so darn easy on the eyes... sweet Sara DeNorch. The shimmery lacy cake was baked by
AZ Cake Diva.
Stay tuned for more gorgeousness tomorrow!
