A Dreamy Indie Style Shoot

Carri Fras |  December 29, 2016

When Katie Skinner of Kiss Me Kate Photography set out to prove to herself that she could bring to life and capture an idea she held so dearly and that only existed in her mind’s eye, she certainly did just that. "In my heart I wanted to prove to myself that I could do exactly what I was visualizing, that I was good enough to pull right from my imagination and capture it in real life," she says. "I put myself to the test and, to say the least, I think I passed." Her ultimate vision for this shoot was to create a dreamy, boho bride that would leave people swooning. (Well, we say, check, check and check!)

It’s all in the details, as they say. And for this style shoot, the copper accents and chic details speak beautifully. Lauren of Lauren Elisabeth Events and Jodi Bodtke of Giving Tree Photography teamed up to create this “Chic and Fresh Copper Shoot”.  Lauren explains, “We wanted a very earthy and chic feel for our styled shoot with a lot of blues and greenery. We wanted to incorporate copper touches and fell in love with the idea of spray painting real fruit for our centerpiece, place cards, table numbers, and to include in the bouquet and on the cake.”
