Inspired by Marie Antoinette & the Baroque period, the gals from Jade & Joy Events styled a wedding inspiration shoot around French decadence in the 1700s.

Cameos, banker’s wax, wax seals, vintage postage, and both dried & distressed florals combine to make this flat-lay. Hand-lettering with gold ink on black and burgundy by Letters by Becca created a luxurious invitation suite.

Using composite imagery, we added this gilded frame and additional florals to this composite image.

Fine Art black and white photographs are easily my favorite thing.  I realize many people love black and white photography, but others do not.  In most circumstance, I deliver images that work both ways in both color and black and white.  In some circumstances, I make the artistic decision that am image works best in a particular colorway.

This cake in navy, gold, and Ivory is emblazoned with “Tu ex la vie que je veux.”  Which is English is translated “You are the life I want.”
