WOVEN →

This styled shoot was a collaboration between Amy, her eldest daughter,  Jacqueline Maloney of Asheville, NC, local sculptor, Susan Perrine and Jennifer Battis Photography. Together these women wove a story of how Maine's waters and deep woods lend themselves to the joy of art and romance with a bit of whimsy thrown in.

Homage was paid to the natural world through the hand dyed and sewn cloth and fibers used by costumer, Vanya on Jackie's gown to the bold, twisted and intertwined branches and twigs of Susan Perrine's sculptures and through the lens of Jennifer Battis' camera.

Pink + Plaid →

Eliza + Tim married at Live Well Farm in Harpswell, Maine on October 7, 2017. Live Well Farm is a quaint venue once owned by native-Mainer Patrick Dempsey from Grey's Anatomy. 

Live Well Farm is nestled on five acres near the sea in Harpswell, Maine. It's large enough to accommodate a tent with 200 guests but also cozy enough for a more intimate reception.

Eliza's vision was executed by The Purple Orchid. Eliza chose a beautiful pink wedding dress and wanted rich, fall tones with an emphasis on plaid. Eliza and Tim even coerced their guests to partake in the theme by adorning themselves in the plaid of their choice. 

Eliza was a breath of fresh air for us as designers. She really allowed us to creatively express her vision without much restraint. We chose beautiful flowers ranging from soft peaches and pinks to richer, deeper tones of pimento and plum.

There is no denying this is a match made in heaven.

It couldn't be clearer that these two adore each other.

Just look at these beauties!

A special thanks to Jamie Mercurio (we are super fans!) for these stunning and romantic photos.

ZEST Magazine Styled Shoot →

ZEST invited us to do a styled photo shoot to feature table arrangements. 

"Thoughtful table settings add to the pleasure of a meal. They are an expression of identity, connecting hosts and guests through the use of themes, colors, shapes and moods. A thoughtfully set table frames the meal at hand and fosters meaningful conversation that extends far beyond the evening in question." 

Pretty Flowers designed the arrangements, Janice Dunwoody produced and styled the shoot and Erin Little photographed. We created 3 versions: Rustic, Contemporary and Traditional.
