In July, I was blessed to meet the fabulous Jenny Kleven at Tom and Katie’s wedding. I was blown away by her work, and I’m so glad I got time to chat with her at the reception.
Fast forward a month or so, and she made a gorgeous centerpiece for my friend Maggie’s shower. I asked if she would be willing to collaborate on an inspiration shoot, and this “wedding” was born.
Even though they don’t officially host weddings, the owners of Sweetland Orchard, the super-kind and super-helpful Mike and Gretchen, agreed to let us photograph there. I have visited many orchards in the area, but I want to tell you all this: you have not eaten a good apple until you’ve visited Sweetland. Their dedication to their work shows in every apple. Gretchen told me that Mike is uber-picky about when he will allow the apples to be picked. They have to be perfect before he will sell them–peak taste and crunch. I have eaten enough Ginger Golds this week to fill my own tree; they are so good.
Unbelievable dresses, shoes and accessories were provided by The Loft Bridal (thanks, Sara!) and Sacks in the City. The dresses they had were so lovely I wanted to buy one myself!
We gathered some other great vendors (see detailed list at end of post!), and Jen pulled everything together to create the most beautiful set-up I have ever seen. If you are looking for someone to coordinate your wedding, give you the most unique and beautiful bouquets, or even just do up an inspiration board to help you plan your big day, SHE’S YOUR GIRL.
Without further ado, here’s the eye candy!
Paper goods by Kate at Paper Rock Scissor. Ah-mazing.

So guys get ready in a different way than gals, both for real weddings and staged ones.

Maureen from Jaide Salon made our bride and groom look fabulous. She’s personable and fun–everything you’d want in a stylist on your wedding day.










Bars Bakery contributed desserts. We may have eaten them all after the shoot, and they were yummy! Paper Rock Scissor also made the adorable little banner on the dessert table.











After a light dinner and dessert bar, a sunset ceremony. Another fab arrangement by Jen!
