It wasn’t that long ago that our Friend Atalanta Jackson of Camellia Wedding Flowers was telling us of this great 51 ford Pickup that a fella by the Name of Wayne kept bringing by her flower shop. She was DYING to incorporate it into a photo shoot so after a few planning meetings she came up with the Idea for a 4th of July patriotic themed celebration. Once she got the green light from Wayne to use the truck she assembled a crack team of some of the most creative vendors San Diego has to offer.
First things first we needed a location. Bo Beau Kitchen in Ocean Beach happily agreed to host our little party with its stylish decor. We couldn’t think of a better place, with its rustic heavy wooden tables, old doors, weathered metal accents and shaded quaint patio.
Maria our lovely bride was dressed Head to toe by Sparrow Bridal in a crushed silk gown, velvet blue sash, vintage red Broach, and very sexy red shoes! The bridesmaids were dressed in Tailored Sweets Boutique’s new collection, while Noon Designs provided their delicate jewelry.
Prior to the shoot Atalanta’s shop was converted into the perfect hair and makeup studio by Blush Makeup Artistry and Margeaux Weith of Beauty Carriage. They managed to get the girls ready in record time and with such timeless style and creativity.
Stephanie “Queen of Details” Darenkamp owner of Tiny Twig Creative, did her usual design magic and precision, making darling invitations, place cards, and menu cards. She also furnished perfect place card holders… vintage forks molded into card stands!
The sweetest part of the day, of course, was the dessert table. Teresa Johnson of Grove Pastry Shop made an incredible spread, complete with the most delicious cake! We freaked out over the idea of having a single American Flag hidden inside the cake and Teresa pulled it off seamlessly! It was difficult keeping our handsome male models, Sterling and Justin, away from the yummy desserts!
As you can see the day and the shoot turned out better than we all ever could have imagined. a special thanks to everybody involved. Thanks for bringing your a game and helping us to make something truly special!
