Modern London Tea Party Inspired Baby Shower

Styled shoots are pretty amazing to be a part of. We get to be creative and collaborate with really cool vendors, and it’s a really cool experience watching dreams and visions become reality. I sat down with Christin of Christin Wilson Events a few months ago to vision cast and dream up some cool ideas for a unique baby shower. Christin is one cool gal who really has a natural gifting in creativity and organization…. two key traits to have in a successful event designer/coordinator! We gathered a dream team of vendors who, together, created a party to remember! Many thanks to On to Baby for featuring our event on their blog! Here’s my favorites from the event…. and thank you, Holly in Heels, for being our gracious “baby mama!”

Seventh Tea Bar in Costa Mesa, CA was the perfect venue for the style of this shoot and we used a lot of the design already in place to accent what we did… Thank you for letting us use your amazing space! Plus…. their tea is AH-Mazing!

And the ever-so-talented Typologie & Co was responsible for these adorable invites and menu cards!

Decadence Candy & Desserts created a super delicious array of sweets that were adorable AND friggin’ delicious. I’m pretty sure I ate at least two of everything!As part of the guests’ favors, we had a silhouette artist come and make custom silhouettes for everyone!

Another really cool vendor was Jamie of Saturday Morning Pancakes, an adorable Etsy store featuring handmade pillows, onesies, and tea towels. She created a special collection of custom tea towels, pillows, and onesies for the shoot and it was all I could do to not take them all home!

Overall, It was such a blast to work with such fun and talented people, and I am so jazzed at how this all turned out! Special thanks to all those involved and I can’t wait for the next one!

LET'S work
TOGETHER

This life is thrilling and grand and moments of greatness are threaded through loss, grief, and uncertainty. So for tonight, let's dance and celebrate the love we have here. Now. What a gift. The ultimate luxury.

Whether your love is the strong silent kind that shows itself in knowing eyes and tender embraces, or if your love is the loud laughter and infectious kind that can barely contain the joy and excitement you feel... I want to be there. With my camera. Taking snapshots so that time will forever be frozen still.
