A couple weeks ago, I teamed up with Natalie Imhoff with The Bridal Solution for a styled Valentine’s Day shoot. We were both inspired to put this photo-shoot together with the growing trends of deep red and gold colors for 2014 weddings. This shoot was simply inspired by cherries. Our shoot was photographed at the High Street Business Center in Jefferson City, Missouri. The Business Center is an old charming home that was recently restored to it natural beauty to host weddings, meetings, and other events. Chef Riley Epperson is a cheese specialist with Hyvee and designed a fabulous “cheese cake” to help inspire this photo-shoot.  The florals were provided by River City Florist. Natalie chose red roses and eucalyptus to accent the dark red, gold, and rich warm tones. She wanted to pull in a few traditional Valentine’s Day elements and then offer some unique elements. Hair and make-up was completed by Catherine Crum the Salon, Taylor Martinez. The gorgeous Carolina Herrera dress was rented from Rent the Runway. Our lovely model was Kayla Broeker. It was so great to connect and photograph one of my past seniors! Thanks to everyone who helped make this a success!
