Tsali Notch Vineyard Wedding Styled Shoot - Kathryn + Hunter

Styled shoots are always a great chance to try out interesting poses and direct the models to achieve beautiful images representative of our style; however, Kathryn and Hunter, the gorgeous couple featured today, didn't need any direction from us at all, and we were so excited to capture their natural interactions with one another. 

Kathyrn's dress was her own, and we love it when our brides or ladies that we shoot choose a flowy dress. We can catch amazing moments of movement, and the desire to sway or spin comes naturally with such lightweight fabrics. A simple dress with a special touch, like Kathryn's gown with lace sleeves and scoop back, can sometimes be underestimated, but being comfortable and easily achieving graceful movement is invaluable on a long wedding day and results in super elegant images.

Our favorite styling element of this shoot was the basket used to house Kathryn's flowers. This unique spin was a perfect alternative to a traditional bouquet, and it meshed flawlessly as a whimsical touch amidst the vineyard setting. 

Kathryn and Hunter impressed all the photogs who came together to network for this styled shoot, and we are thrilled to share this bridal inspiration with you today.

Tsali Notch Vineyard Wedding Styled Shoot - Katie + Bill

One of the things we really enjoy about being photographers is having the opportunity to be part of styled shoots to network with other professionals. This shoot at Tsali Notch Vineyard took place on a warm spring evening where we met up with other local photographers to learn from each other and work on fine-tuning our art. We had the pleasure of shooting with two different (but equally awesome) couples, one for an engagement-inspired styled shoot and the other a bridal inspiration (look out for a feature of Kathryn and Hunter on an upcoming blog), and we are excited to share these images of Katie and Bill today in honor of their one year anniversary.

We enjoyed seeing some new faces and shooting alongside these talented folks, and we have to give a huge shoutout to our friend, Erin Morrison with Erin Morrison Photography for organizing this entire get-together.
