This year has been full of amazing shoots, real weddings and collaborations. A couple months back I had the chance to join Casto Photography & Cinema for a gorgeous Gilded Woodlands inspired styled shoot in Aiken, SC. This week, we’re so honored to have that shoot featured on Magnolia Rouge. Collaborating with dear friends is one of my favorite things to do, so add Cote Designs, Leen Machine Calligraphy & Design and other new “friendors” to the mix and you’ve got one fabulous afternoon dripping with golden elegance. Find all of the details, inspiration and more on the Magnolia Rouge feature – a huge thank you for featuring this inspiration shoot. Now, I’m so excited to share some of my favorite images.
