We definitely felt close to the shore while producing “Surf’s Up!” Between the surfboard chandelier to the sunset inspired cake, we almost forgot we were in the heart of Sacramento – until the raindrops began (hey, what’s a beach-themed shoot without a little water?!) Luckily, we were nearing the end of this fun and colorful photo shoot and were able to wrap it up without getting drenched.
To finish up our Behind-the-Scenes blog posts on our styled shoots, we finally present “Surf’s Up!” Feast your eyes on the pops of orange and teal guaranteed to make any bride smile.
“Surf’s Up” was produced by Nicole Reece—Elegant Inspirations Event & Wedding Consultations, Vicky Marco—Bella Bloom, Emily Peter and Wendy Sipple—Real Weddings Magazine.
