Happy Friday!
We are excited to announce that our Italian styled shoot at the private estate Con Amore was published on Southern California Bride last week!! Take a look!:
The intimate and breathtaking venue Con Amore Ravello was originally designed to emulate the romantic villas in Ravello, Italy, which also served as the inspiration behind our shoot. We wanted to focus on the 'natural' elements that Italy is known for, but also wanted to create a very elegant and romantic look. In order to do this, we used a bold color palate of marsala, blush, ivory and green and paired it with a unique use of the fruits and vegetables commonly found in Italy. While the tablescape definitely surpassed all expectations and succeeded in transporting you to the romantic town of Ravello, we also wanted to be sure to highlight all the nooks and crannies of this unbelievable private estate, as that would tie all the details together. While this was an amazing thought, we were thrown off guard by an anticipated downpour and had to pull out our umbrellas in order to make it through the day! But through the rain, the shine and the unexpected, we were able to fully capture the essence of this beautifully designed, romantic, Italian styled shoot.
