Provence Sunrise Shoot with Pearl & Godiva

lahappy_provence_shoot_1

I can’t tell you how much I love this styled shoot from Provence designed and styled by the amazingly talented duo of Pearl & Sheena from Pearl & Godiva featuring my calligraphy paper goods.

The lighting is lovely & soft and the details are romantic & thoughtful. The photography by Feather & Stone is incredible; I just love every little detail! This shoot was also featured on Once Wed (so exciting!). See the entire shoot here.

The calligraphy details I created were lettered in a modern calligraphy style onto soft, luxe, cotton paper with a deckled edge. The modern calligraphy was inked in dark sepia ink. The invitation set features a rough kraft paper with the soft, creamy cotton paper. The wine label with the gusts name calligraphed was dipped in lavender watercolor ink to add a bit of color.

Wedding Sparrow + la Happy

A few months back I had the pleasure of working with a fabulous team of wedding vendors organized by Sara, the editor/founder of Wedding Sparrow (a seriously lovely wedding blog, check it out!). The result of the collaboration was this out-of-this-world, beautiful shoot shot on the English country side.

©lahappy_weddingsparrow_1I calligraphied the invitation set, menus and place cards in gray ink on cream paper in a modern romantic lettering. I love how simple the paper goods are when paired with the incredibly lovely florals by Bo Boutique Florals . …oh and that Claire Pettibone dress? Amazing!

©lahappy_weddingsparrow_3I love all of the bright details against the earthy-tones of a gray countryside. I love how Sara kept the styling so simple – what a breath of fresh air! The photography by Aneta Mak is so beautiful. I love the way she captured all the little details of the table. I just adore this shoot! Check out the entire thing on Wedding Sparrow!
