I am so, so, so ridiculously excited about what I have to share with you today. A psychedelic wedding shoot, inspired by the hippie and biker cultures of the late 60s and early 70s, with a modern twist. This idea has been swirling around in my head for a long time, and with the help and talent of an incredible team of creative geniuses, it finally came together!
A big huge super-sized thanks + lots of love to the aforementioned creative geniuses: Erin Hearts Court, Honey & Poppies, Miss Tashina, Pow Wow Vintage Rentals, Adam Hunt, Erica O’Brien Cake Design, Freedom Machinery & Accessories, and Emily Dawn Artistry. Thank you also to the awesome venue, Star Ranch, and our models, Jeff, Tashina, Shannon, and my husband Bryan, who were all total babes.
