Styled Shoot Event - Modern Nostalgia at the Magnolia

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a styled at the Magnolia in Dubuque, IA and I can’t say enough good things about it! :)

The florist leading the creative direction for this shoot is a friend of mine and let me know this was happening. I wasn’t going to pass the invite up so decided to get a group of friends together and road trip from Des Moines to Dubuque for the day! The venue was so so unique and probably the most AMAZING hidden gem I've ever seen. Not only was the space beautiful, but the shoot itself was amazingly designed. The color scheme, dresses, florals, table settings, etc -- *chef's kiss*.

I loved this shoot for the style of it, but I also love styled shoots in general for the opportunity to get creative without the pressure of "being on the job", and getting to work alongside other photographers for the day. It's such a fun perspective and great to hang out with people that you connect with! One of my favorite moments of the shoot was playing with flash at the very end. I took it a step further and shot with flash AND had a ziploc over my lens, which gave this super cool filmy effect.

Check out some of the photos from this shoot!
