We’re featured on Grey Likes Weddings today with Jasmine Star!

I was honored to be invited to be a part of photographer Jasmine Star‘s latest CreativeLive workshop on shooting an editorial. We worked together in the months leading up to April’s shoot – I designed a set for Jasmine to use in her class where she could show her students how a live editorial shoot works and what shots and techniques are important. Jasmine’s final images were chosen to be featured today on the Grey Likes Weddings blog! Yay! More images are on Jasmine’s site today as well, and I’ll share more in the future including inspiration sketches and design details. Click below to view Summer’s full post on Grey Likes Weddings.

Sugarcomb Wedding | Galen & Jeff by Sarah Rhoads Photographers

Galen and Jeff are sweet and stylish. In my consultation with the East Coast couple, the bride and I discovered that we grew up just a neighborhood apart and attended the same high school. The pair returned to their hometown of Seattle to share their wedding with family and friends in venues that are as beautiful as they are nostalgic for the couple. Galen and Jeff married on a gorgeous August day at St. Joseph, one of my favorite churches. They created a wedding as sophisticated as it was organic, with vintage inspired colors, florals and decor. Their reception took place at The Seattle Tennis Club on glistening Lake Washington…

Wedding Sugar Palette #1102 | Orange & Ocean

Orange and a rich grey-blue are two of my favorite colors. They come together in this palette as a fresh and summertime spread; orange slices, sparkle and a balance of bright and mild tones complete this sunny and warm reception.

Behind the Scenes | Punch Bowl Flower Arrangement

I’m still a little obsessed with the flower our arrangement from the ABC/ISES event last week.  (See yesterday’s blog post for more info.)  It was put together by the talented Meghan Stoller of MUM Floral Design.  I’m so excited to see more of her work at the weddings we are working on together this Summer!  We started out with our design, a trip to the floral wholesaler and a giant silver punch bowl.  The flowers used were gorgeous carmel garden roses, white roses, ranunculus and hydrangea.  Meghan brought andromeda that was from her own garden.  Here are the photos of the arrangement coming together…enjoy!
