Our inspiration from this shoot came from some photos we saw on Pinterest, that were high contrast with a modern essence, and with peach and eggplant for the foundational colors. Whimsical vibes are our absolute favorite at MDP Events, so we really wanted to create a shoot that brought together whimsical and modern elements, and also had a moody, yet romantic vibe. We also wanted to showcase high contrast fall tones, without going for the typical warm fall colors and jewel tones that everyone expects. For this reason, we chose eggplant, pink, peach, light orange, white, and muted natural tones for our color scheme.

The shoot will always be one of our favorites because it was fun to put together, and it was also the first styled shoot that we got to put together under the MDP Events brand! Our color scheme consisted of shades of green, gold and white. The Esplanade was the perfect location because of its pretty ballroom, and gorgeous lakeside views!

This shoot was inspired by the whimsical and romantic essence of a French winery, and subtle, pretty pastel tones! We also love the trends of pearls and butterflies, and thought this was the perfect editorial setting to incorporate them into! Our color palette consisted of dreamy pastels, including peach, blush and soft yellow, contrasted with brighter tones like orange and lilac.

The inspiration for this shoot started with showcasing a different style of upscale yet intimate wedding by utilizing a picnic style seating design. With fall around the corner, we wanted to design a shoot that utilized fall tones with boho touches. The color palette that I chose consisted of warm neutrals, deep earth tones, and bright terracotta accents.

This shoot was inspired by the aspects of a tropical paradise atmosphere. From the vibrant colors and lush greenery, to the warmth of the environment and the wildlife, I wanted to capture it all! Naturally, the tropical-inspired color palette consisted of vivid oranges, warm blush pinks, vibrant corals, and lush tropical greens!

New College’s College Hall in Sarasota, Florida was the perfect location because the historic architecture fit the shoot’s theme and atmosphere beautifully. Even the colors of the stone and marble throughout the space allowed the bold color scheme to really pop! The color palette of course was inspired by Cruella de Vil herself. Her signature colors of black and white, and bold red, were essential, and then gold accents were an absolute must.

The inspiration for this shoot came from the main aspects of the color scheme! I really wanted to blend together sharp black tones with neutral colors and mauve pops. With lots of black and white being utilized in wedding trends, I wanted to give the vibe a bit more with additions of acrylic details, whimsical florals, and gorgeous attire with simple style yet sharp details.

The foundation of this shoot was whimsical garden essence, with a blend of vintage elegance and modern touches. The main goal was to showcase how pastel tones and bright pops can be paired together and still look beautiful, airy, and bold. Colonial at Sunset in San Antonio, Florida is a picturesque historic property with lush grounds and gorgeous architecture and it provided the perfect backdrop for the shoot!
