I’ve only shared a sneak peek to this shoot before, because I’ve been saving it for today — tomorrow, we launch MarryThis! guide number 3, and this is the shoot featured in that guide. This was an absolute blast to put together and I am so excited to finally share it with you!

We started off the inspiration for this charming morning reception with doughnuts from Voodoo Doughnut (where else?), a DIY milk bar with regular and chocolate milk and those cute little doughnut flags from Foosie Design.

Those great invitations are also from Foosie Design, and our model for this shoot is my dear friend Christy Rimrodt of Studio Christy and her husband Kirk (also known as the INCREDIBLY good sport in this scenario).

Our flowers came from the talented Liz Rusnac of Fleur:ology Design. She was so creative to use “java jackets” in her modern centerpieces.

Christy’s hair and makeup were done by Austie Eckley (and that fab hairpiece came from Austie’s Etsy shop) and the dress is by Claire La Faye.

Finally, the lovely backdrop is the Leftbank Annex and all our lovely tables, chairs and some of the dishes came from The Party Place, who are always amazingly supportive.

Thank you to the team who made this happen! This was such a fun shoot to work on and you were all a blast. If you’re loving the look of this wedding, be sure to check out the new MarryThis! guide, which will launch tomorrow morning, and we’ll tell you exactly how to do it for your own reception!
