New Beginning Styled Shoot

The inspiration for this styled shoot started with the Pantone Color of the Year – Greenery and new beginnings. Weddings are definitely a new beginning for couples – starting your life as a team, looking forward to the future and the growth that goes with that. Along with the greenery came the idea of a springtime backdrop for a wedding in Excelsior, MN – a town that really comes alive in the spring and gets really lively during the summer!

It was the perfect location for such a shoot. Pique Travel provides a historic look at the small town, giving lots of natural colors and details. The wood from Lyman Lumber built in the 1940’s provided a warm but urban feel. All the touches from the original metal rooftop, wood floors and rolling buffet were brought in to make the whole building feel cohesive. Using local vendors was a must, as each of the creative spirits from around the small town brought their own artistic abilities to the collaboration.
