photography // styled.

In my post last week, I mentioned I was working on THREE styled shoots!  I can proudly say "that's a wrap" on all three, and I'm pretty happy with the results thus far.  I can't spill ALL the beans, patience is a virtue, etcetera, but I am willing to share a peek or two.

This first shoot (which was actually the most recent shoot, which took place on Sunday) was just outside Bakersfield, CA.  It seems like an odd location for a styled wedding shoot, unless you know about the almond orchards.  Kern County is teeming with almond trees, which produce some pretty stunning pink-and-white blooms for about two weeks every spring.  Lucky for me, my collaborator Vanessa (of Vanessa Noel Events) is a Bakersfield native, so she knew just the time to set up shop among the trees to take advantage of them in full bloom!  Here are just a couple of my favorites:

I also had the pleasure of collaborating with a few of my ultimate favorites here in Ventura County: Joelle (A Charming Occasion), Amy (Stella Bloom Designs), and Crystal (Crystal Robinson Makeup).  Our Kate Spade-inspired shoot was a very different style from the Bakersfield almond orchard shoot, which is so fun -- I had so much variety in my photographic life this week.

Last, but certainly not least, I had the incredible opportunity to photograph a shoot styled by the unbelievably-talented Summer Watkins of Grey Likes Weddings(!!!!!).  I'm totally not supposed to post anything from this shoot yet, as it'll be officially debuted on the Grey blog soon, but I just cannot resist sharing this gem with you guys...

I mean, HELLO!  Gorgeous much?!  All of the models this week were pretty damn breathtaking.  I'm officially spoiled.  Stay tuned for more; I'll be sure to let you guys know when these shoots are posted in their entirety!

What did you guys do this weekend?
