I can’t let Tuesday pass by without posting some inspiration for you! It is, after all, the unofficial Inspiration Day here on ELD! ;) This inspiration shoot is a little different than what I normally post, in that it features images from 7 different photographers! You see, this is a shoot that I styled for a photography workshop that my friend and amazing photographer Kristen Weaver was hosting. It’s not just any workshop though- it’s a workshop that 100% benefited Images For A Cure, an international event that hundreds of photographers participate in to raise money for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The photographers who participated in the Images For A Cure workshop sent me their images from the shoot, and I put them all together for today’s feature! What I think is so cool about this is that you can see everyone’s unique shooting style through all the different images. Oh and you’ll be able to tell who the images were taken by with the watermarks on each photo. :)

Now for a little info about the shoot itself… when Kristen asked me to style the shoot, she already had the perfect open field in mind, and she knew she wanted a vintage style. We started gravitating towards pastel colors- pink, peach, golden yellow, sage green. For some reason, I immediately thought of sherbet, and we ended up using that as a sort of “theme” and design element. I became a little obsessed with spoons for this shoot, and I was determined to make some sort of spoon garland- which I ended up using as chair decor. ;) I used ribbon and lace to create a sort of “runner” on the vintage table, which ended up being perfect to add more color to whole tablescape! Okay, I think that’s enough talking about all of this- the photos should tell you all the rest! :)

And a little “behind the scenes” of the shoot…

And I just had to close out the post with these Polaroids that Abbey Hepner took. These are actual Polaroids that she scanned into her computer- I saw them with my own eyes! Absolutely gorgeous! She was telling me that she takes a few Polaroids  at every wedding and shoot she does to have something tangible from it. And let me tell you- I am IN LOVE with that idea! :)

So what do you all think? I’m still very much in love with the ribbon and lace runner. :) Oh and the cake. THE CAKE. I’m obsessed with it. Like didn’t-want-to-give-it-back in love with it!

{DIY Tip: It was a little difficult to get the ribbon and lace runner to stay put, so if you wanted to do something like this for your wedding, I would recommend laying it all out to the length you want ahead of time, and either stitching them all together at both ends or even attaching them to each other using another piece of ribbon or lace.}

A big thank you to all the vendors who contributed for this shoot, Kristen for having me be a part of it, and of course all of the fabulous photographers who shared their images with us! :)
