Last week was absolutely mind boggling, exhausting, and rewarding. I completed my first styled shoot of the year titled Roman Holiday: An Elopement Styled Shoot. This creative exercise showcased not only the unparalleled skill of my participating vendors, but the elevated European aesthetic in my backyard–the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia–a destination wedding in the Virginia Wine Region.

Although, the official photos cannot be shared until much later, I simply couldn’t wait to gush about this experience! When I approach a collaborative project, the people I surround myself with are indispensable and as important as any design I have swimming around my head. This styled shoot at Hazy Mountain was no exception!

Destination does NOT Mean Crossing an Ocean

This shoot showcases the Virginia Wine region as a viable and wonderful place to get married on the East Coast. Get all those Italian vibes without crossing an ocean.
