The Slate Barn

Ok. I don't even know where to begin. Scratch that, let me start out by saying that I am completely overcome with joy and accomplishment from being featured on Green Wedding Shoes!! Jasmine from Let's Frolic Together is so talented and an overall incredible human. Her photos are so good they make me bashful. I feel especially lucky to have had the opportunity to get my hands on The Slate Barn and Gardens, a brand spankin' new venue located in Vista.  Yes people, a new stunning venue in North County!

The eyes, the pink lip, the hair, the jewelry! I cannot believe this is real life.

Erin Fader is the reason why this shoot turned out the way it did. Not only did she lend her ridiculously good looks but her custom wedding jewelry as well!!

It is my personal philosophy that every bride deserves a bitchin bouquet.

Fringe is probably the best thing on the face of the earth! Especially electric blue tassel fringe.

In true bohemian style, I did have an exact layout of the ceremony prior to the shoot. I knew I had everything I would need and let the space inspire me upon arrival. Turned out better than I could have imagined. Try not to get too caught up in the exact placement of everything before, it always comes together in the end. :) PS I totally rescued those brass pots up above from my parents attic and no, they will not find their way back.

Unbelievable.

Sometimes flowers make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Doesn't that happen to everyone...?

The macrame dress and cake are by far some of my most favorite creations. I have random notebooks scattered about my house for when my "Ah-ha!" moment hits. These two ideas were dreamed up a while ago, it is almost surreal seeing this in real life. 

Thanks to everyone involved! So much love to you all! Video of the shoot to come soon. :)
