In the fall, I was given an incredible opportunity to work along side some of the most  inspiring creative professionals in the industry. This styled shoot was  dreamed up, designed, and orchestrated by Kaeli Garcia of Luna Soiree Events. The Venue, Cottonwood barn, is a barn in Dexter, that was recently restored to a absolute breathtaking venue for weddings and events. Hence, the name & vision casted  for the styled shoot: Vintage to Vogue. From the jaw dropping 2 ton chandler hanging over the barn’s rafters, to the pond painted with colored leaves, Cottonwood Barn is the Peanut butter and Jelly to today’s vintage chic bride!

Shooting with Melanie, of Melanie Reyes Photography, our goal was to capture every detail that lied within the vision for the day. Capturing the ambiance of a Fall wedding at Cottonwood barn was a whimsical experience. I am so happy for this local venue, (with the sweetest owners, I must add!) and all the creative professionals who had a hand in bringing this vision to life, to display a glimpse of Cottonwood Barn’s beauty! 

blessings, dayna
