I love getting to dream. When I planned my own wedding, I dreamed about colors, dresses and details like a lot of girls do. But a week ago, I had the opportunity to dream out loud with a group of amazing wedding vendors who worked together to breathe life into a wedding inspiration shoot.

It went so well that the photos from our inspiration shoot were published only a couple of days later on Style Me Pretty, which is a fantastic wedding blog that brings me lots of inspiration. It was a dream to be counted among the ranks there of inspiring photographers and other vendors.

For the rest of the week, I’ll be sharing that inspiration shoot in lots of detail, but in order to kick that off, I’d like to share this video I put together, which shows a few glances behind the scenes as we created this beautiful setup. I hope it’s inspiring to you!

Like any wedding, this took a small army to pull off. So thank you to all (listed below) who worked hard to make it all happen!
