Garden Party Shoot

This weekend I had such an awesome time meeting up with the sisters of A Garden Party – they’re re-vamping the look of their website and wanted some fresh, fun images for their new site.  Mary and Dawn are the co-owners behind this fabulous company, and I highly recommend them to anyone – they bring a young, unique view to the florist industry.  I always have a great time hanging out with these girls, and I’m so excited to see their new look once it’s all put together!

For their shoot we met up in center city Philadelphia, and it was SO much fun walking around finding new spots that I never knew existed.  Who knew there are so many random gardens in the middle of the city??  Also, who knew there were so many mosquitoes – I think we all got eaten alive that day….but it was worth it:)  Here are some of the images of the sisters:

Mary is the one who gave birth to Lee about 2 months ago.  And yes, she looks thinner than before she got pregnant.  She was looking fab in those jeans!

Mary and Dawn also brought along Sarah and Sara to model some bridesmaids and bridal gowns with the bouquets:

Sara got quite a few comments in this outfit – got about 6 “congratulations”, 4 people took pictures of her, and 1 guy shouted that she can still get out of it if she wants to:)  Yet no one asked where the groom was….

WOAH.  Let me just say I love this image.  Like, REALLY love it.  When I saw it for the first time I gasped – love the feel, the lighting, everything about it.  Oh and it doesn’t hurt that Sarah is a hottie:)  Did I mention she is my bride in January?  Yeah, I’m a lucky photographer:)

Then I saw this picture – LOVE this one too!  Mary and Dawn have some hot friends/sisters:)  Sara looks like a model in this picture – her new hair style worked perfectly with this outfit!

This picture is not perfect by any means, but it’s one of my favorites from the session.  It’s just two sisters, hanging out, havin’ a good time:)  Love it!

Haha had to throw this picture in there – Sarah had the brilliant idea of carting all of our bouquets/wardrobe changes around in Mary’s stroller:)  Mary was wondering how many people would ask where the baby is – but no one even looked twice at us – gotta love Philly!  Hah:)

Thanks again girls for asking me to do the pictures for your new website!  Hope you enjoy them:)  Can’t wait to see the final product!

And for anyone looking for fresh, fun floral designs, head on over to their website and send them an email!

How fun for you that you’re getting these awesome opportunities to highlight vendors in the industry!

Mary - Thanks for bringing our flowers to life! And how cute are Sara and Sarah?!?! Great work, as always. My favs include the one of Dawn and I laughing because we really do laugh all the time while working, the sunflower bouquet with the brown dress backdrop, Sarah’s hottie shot, Sara looking sweet in yellow and of course, the stroller shot :)
