It's always a joy to be a part of a wedding at the beautiful Chankaska Creek Winery. For this wedding the couple picked a timeless color scheme with black and white. The wedding ceremony was held at the winery in front of a custom backdrop by We've Got It Covered. The reception was in the winery's onsite tent. We draped the reception tent with white and black fabric and hung a crystal chandelier over the head table. We also designed a custom head table backdrop based off of an inspiration photo the bride found on pinterest. The chargers, mirrors, and crystal centerpieces were provided by We've Got It Covered.

Winter Wonderland Styled Shoot

Erin Olsen · February 7, 2016

Late last year I had an opportunity to work on a winter wonderland styled shoot, organized by Maddie at Ask For the Moon Events. The Outing Lodge, a turn of the century European stately home, was the perfect setting for our rustic meets glam winter shoot. The day was especially magical as we experienced the first snow fall of the season. Highlights of the shoot included a visit from Lexi the husky, a chandelier backdrop, and jewel adorned cakes!
