Fall Country Wedding Photoshoot- Behind The Scenes

January 6, 2017 In Photoshoot, Styled Wedding, Wedding Planning By Alexandra

On a cold winter day like today, it’s nice to reminisce on warmer times like this fall country wedding photoshoot. In October, 2016 me and a group of talented vendors got together for this shoot.

This shoot began with an idea and design concept put together by me and photographer, Ally Papko. With our vision board, we approached other wedding vendors to see if they would like to participate. We were happy when everyone agreed, and our vision came together on that October day. Every vendor’s personality and creative flare made this shoot truly special.

Florist

I met Deanna Rogers-Murray of Deer Dutch through Instagram. I was blown away by the care she put into her floral arrangements. Every detail is specially placed to create a breathtaking bouquet or centerpiece.

Adding to the excitement, just days before the shoot she launched her new website http://www.deerdutch.com/. If you haven’t already, take a peek at her website. Deanna was a treat to work with. Her bubbly personality added to the atmosphere the day of the shoot.

Baking

Aynsley Rosin (Co-Owner of Sweet Impressions Bakery) creates the sweetest treats. We have been friends for a while, and I was so excited to finally work with her. She went above and beyond taking our vision and bringing it to life. Have you seen that cake? Not to mention the chocolate covered apples!

When Aynsley cut the cake, I swear I have never seen anyone move as fast as all us girls. We all wanted to try a taste. Needless to say, we all died and went to sugar heaven.

Make-up

Mhei Alcos of La Estetica Beauty was wonderful to work with on the shoot. She created the perfect sultry eye, and luscious lip for our model.

She was very professional, and sweet. How cute are these photos Ally captured of Mhei?

Hair

Krissy Lamirande is an incredible hair stylist! After looking at the style of wedding dress for the photoshoot, she was able to suggest and create the perfect hair-do.

After seeing the amazing job she did styling our models hair, I booked an appointment with her of my own. It was the best decision I have made. She is kind, personable, and truly listens to what you are looking for.

Model

Lainie Payjack is truly a stunner with a heart of gold. We grew up in the same neighbourhood, and have known each other for quite a while. There was no one else I would have wanted to model in this shoot, she absolutely killed it!

Photography

I could not be happier that Ally Papko contacted me to create a styled wedding photoshoot. We became friends a couple years ago working on a mutual friend’s wedding.

Her style of photography paired perfectly with the style of shoot. It had a modern Snow White feeling. I can’t wait to work with Ally again soon on a wedding or photoshoot.
