This Styled Shoot was a passion project between myself and Michelle from Gunn Shot Photography. A styled photoshoot is a staged wedding where a team of wedding vendors come together and collaborate to bring their vision to life. It allows all the different vendors to really be creative and create something they may have otherwise been unable to create.
Michelle and I toured R Wedding and event’s The Westside Island in Laton during their open house in September 2019. We knew then that we both had to create something beautiful on their gorgeous property. We spoke with Cindy, the owner of R Wedding and Events, and put this shoot together in just a few short months.
Charissa and Natalie killed it with hair and makeup. If you are looking for hair and make-up for your big day look no further than these two.
Elisa from Willow and Water Floral did an amazing job styling the florals and arch for the shoot. We went to Elisa with our ideas and she knew exactly what we were dreaming of and ran with it. Both Michelle and I knew we wanted to showcase whimsical romantic florals and Elisa saw our vision and truly brought it to life.
Julian from Bella Donna Baking Company brought this cake to life. Not only was it beautiful it was so so so good.
Thank you so much to everyone who participated! I can not wait to create something with you in the future.

[…] The Westside Island’s ceremony space is soft and romantic, with a peaked wooden arch that can be draped in flowy fabrics and florals for an elegant touch. Soft eucalyptus boughs frame the ceremony space for a natural touch. There’s a wooden bar with a down-home country aesthetic, and a beautiful wooden dock that extends over the property’s lake. It is perfect for beautiful sunset photos! […]
