Spring is HERE! And when Jennifer, owner of Lost and Found Vintage Rentals as well as the Honey Farm wedding venue asks for you to come over and capture a stunning inspiration shoot for her future couples…you absolutely do! What photographers call “styled shoots” have become quite a hot topic in the last few years. In my experience, they exist for a couple of reasons.

1. Inspiration – show off a new twist or take on wedding decor or style to inspire future couples
2. Inventory & Services Showcase – show your clients what is available when you work together whether it be unique vintage furniture, cake styling, ceremony setups, or photography talent
3. Build Relationships – connecting with other wedding vendors is essential to offering our couples trusted recommendations as well as ensuring that their wedding day team works seamlessly together
4. Creative Play – get out there and experiment! Styled shoots are an amazing way to try new things, push boundaries and refresh that creative spirit that we all sometimes need a boost for.

For all of these reasons and more, I love collaborating with others to work some magic! Take a peek at this stunning Monarch butterfly inspired shoot put on by incredible vendors listed below.
