Equestrian Center Inspiration
Making magic with friends and creating something simply because it is a great exercise. When Ashley reached out and asked if I wanted to jump in on a styled shoot at The Big Horn Equestrian Center with Cassie Madden, I enthusiastically said yes!
With an equestrian theme and colors in deep pink, pale blue, and gold accents, I was ready to make the perfect bouquet and something dramatic for the table. With some fancy garden roses, oats to wave in the breeze, and some crabapple branches from my front yard, I loved what came out of the creative practice.
The week before our shoot, I was at a local jeweler to have some work done on my wedding ring. While there, a guy giddy with excitement was picking up an engagement ring for a proposal on the mountain. Low and behold, they were our models! Their joy and love are evident in the images captured by Cassie.
This shoot was featured in Rocky Mountain Bride V5, available online and in print nationally at Barnes & Noble.

A Vineyard Wedding at Lake Chelan in Navy
When Christina contacted me about her September wedding at Karma Vineyards overlooking Lake Chelan in Washington, I couldn’t wait to start planning. She wanted their wedding to be glamorous with the ladies in navy gowns and the men in classic black suits. Her vision included long tables with fluffy white flowers and minimal greenery spread under the bistro lights during their ceremony.
We used loads of white hydrangea, roses, ranunculus, and lisianthus to pull off this polished look along with dozens of candles.
Surrounded by their families and treasured friends, they said, ‘I do’ on a bluff overlooking the lake and followed with a party under the lights in the vineyard. The entire evening was magical.
They are captured here by Mary Kalhor.
Congratulations!!!
