First of all.. If you haven’t seen Rachel & Andrew’s One Year Later post, check it out here.

Lately I’ve been wanting to start doing some styled mock wedding shoots just to switch things up a bit. “Wedding Faux-tography” if you will (thanks to David for coining that term). I haven’t been able to coordinate schedules with any local wedding coordinators or florists yet so I decided to go for it all by myself with the help of my lovely friend Sarah. Thanks love!

I tried to keep it simple, as this is something I’ve never done before. Surprisingly, I’m really pleased with the result. BUT.. if are a wedding coordinator/florist/stylist and would like to work with me on one of these in the future, I’m aiming to do one each month. So give me a shout!

Without further ado, here’s my first Wedding Faux-tography session! I really hope you enjoy and I would REALLY, REALLY LOOOOOVE for you to LEAVE ME A COMMENT!

We have a ridiculous amount of empty wine bottles at our house so that was the starting point for my vision.

I knew I wanted to hang jars from the branches and put candles and flowers in them. I LOVE the way it looks! I also added little definitions on a few of the jars, like the wine bottles.

Sarah supplied the table and added some nice touches like this bird and the feathers.

Thanks to my lovely friend Holly for lending me the owl and the plates.

I also added my Anthropologie knobs to the wine bottles.

Can’t have an awesome shoot without my awesome animal masks!
