Oz-Inspired Styled Shoot: Behind the Scenes

One of the things I loved most about working in an office was the collaboration with co-workers. We worked really closely with one another at the fraternity, and every hour or so someone would pop into my office with an idea or a question ... or just to chat. :) I loved that, and its one of the things I miss when working from home (my cat pops into my office all the time but it's not quite the same). So, when the idea of a styled shoot came up, I knew I wanted to collaborate again. After lots of meetings and searching for the right props and putting it all together, it ... well ... came together fabulously. This was my first styled shoot so I really had no idea to expect, but I was blown away by how perfectly everyone delivered their piece ... and how fun it was! I hope I did the whole thing justice with the pictures!

Because we're hoping to get our Oz (The Great and Powerful)-inspired shoot featured, I can't show you the official photos just yet, but I have the next best thing: a look at the behind the scenes! These people are so dedicated to their jobs, they deserve some recognition. Even if they're hanging from trees in the photos. ;)

These two were the brains behind the whole thing. Jennifer of Heart 2 Heart Occasions and Darci of DG Invites are so creative!

Heather of Fair Rarity outdid herself on the flowers and really the whole centerpiece design. I don't think she realizes how talented she is!

Doug of Attention to Detail captured the whole thing on video, and Laura of A Bride's Design stayed the WHOLE morning to keep Kaitlin's dress looking perfect ... and help us with some other things ...
