Erica Kanney |  October 10, 2019

The Loft on Isanogel, one of the oldest barns in east central Indiana, is known for its rustic appeal, but the surrounding grounds offered the inspiration for this colorful cover shoot. Event Designer Danielle Lea of Events by D. Nicole knew she wanted to create a bright and bold style using Living Coral, the Pantone Color of the Year, and the bold hues and textures of citrus fruits. “We wanted to incorporate lots of lively color, especially Living Coral. Pulling in real fruit helped us capture the exact look we were going for.” Lea and her team mixed fruits and florals with touches of copper and cacti to create this unforgettable shoot captured by Alison Mae Photography and Emelie Russell Wedding Films.
