Alexis and I recently styled a photo shoot that was featured on Style Me Pretty with a great group of vendors!  We wanted to capture some elements reminiscent of our city in the design– Victorian architecture, diverse color, the California Gold Rush, and the natural beauty of the area, all with a modern twist.  The goal was to showcase charming details reminiscent of San Francisco mixed with the easy-going elegance that our local brides strive for.

It was a fun process but we definitely had our challenges……..

We decided to shoot at an outdoor location and chose a park on Bay Street in San Francisco that was near Alexis’ apartment.  Alexis walked by the park early in the morning on the day of the shoot and it appeared as if a homeless person decided to have their own shoot that day.  Luckily, everything was cleared out before we arrived.

This is what Alexis saw-- almost unbelievable!!!

The second challenge was the wind…..it was really blowing!  Duck tape was our friend.

We’d love you to check out our feature on Style Me Pretty and let us know what you think!
