Blue And Green Wedding

The choice of green and blue ancient tartan captures the blue of the Pacific and the towering Big Sur redwoods. Bagpipes playing on a neighbouring bluff. Ancient scroll invites with calligraphy and wax seals. Rustic, redwood Table with iron detail plays a supporting role decked with a traditional brass coat of arms, a waterfall of moss, florals trailing off the tabletop, mirroring the nearby river. Vintage Limoges china bearing a gold-encrusted heraldic shield, set on live edge chargers and vintage, hand-carved stag horn cutlery.

Location

We began the inspiration at the Big Sur River Inn. It was here where we set up the couple's rustic sweetheart table. It was a breathtaking foggy coastal afternoon, which set the stage for a perfect editorial shoot. We almost felt like we were in Scotland. We wandered through the Big Sur forests, walked along the river, and explored the depths of Big Sur's coastal beaches and cliff sides.

This was in collaboration with all local Monterey country vendors! We wanted to show how with the right design and eye for beauty, can encapsulate a certain time, theme, and overall vibe no matter the location. Given Big Sur's expansive nature, we were able to capture the Scottish blue and green wedding theme of this shoot in so many different places. Providing unique photographs and different feels throughout the day.
