Back in February super talented photographer Brea McDonald contacted me about collaborating on a photo shoot. I of course jumped at the chance to work with her! She had a photo for inspiration that was a gorgeous, moody range of romantic blues and we started brainstorming from there. Sara O’Brian the lovely and amazingly inspired custom watercolor invitation and paper notions creator of Griffin-vites was part of the party too. Between the three of us we came up with the romantic yet melancholy story of a mermaid waiting for her sea captain to arrive for their wedding celebration. The scene was set on the beach where the table was made up of shipwrecked items that floated to the shore. Vintage silver, antique glasses and china, found objects, simple flowers accented with seaweed and a driftwood table top were just some of the elements that helped create an amazing vignette. The fantastic photos from Brea are coming soon. For now you can see the process of the design, set up and the shoot captured so wonderfully on film by Meg Simone. Special thanks to Ashley at Occasions Bridal for the stunning dress!

Thanks Kate – your work, concepts, and ideas speak for itself… simply amazing! So fun to work with you and the girls. It was really such a calming, dreamy, romantic shoot, and so soothing to edit. Thanks for the props and can’t wait to work with you again

That is the most romantic photography I’ve ever seen resulting from a wedding. It is also the lest-romantic working conditions, yet you’re all so good-spirited in the video. Salute to Meg
Simone for capturing the two sides of the occasion. And, Brea McDonald, I hope you get tons of exposure out of this because you deserve it. What a poster that wedding dress and mirror with out-of-focus table would make. Fantastic!
[...] The day was captured on film by the very cool and adventurous Meg Simone…love a girl who’s not afraid to get her boots wet! Check out the video here! [...]
