This styled shoot was inspired by the Historic Santa Maria Inn, a landmark on the Central Coast of California since 1917. Our goal was to provide a new, dramatic take on the old-style vibe of the hotel. With an excellent team of vendors, we created a color palette of burgundy, navy, gold, and blush, which enhanced the character within this historic venue. The dark, rich tones paired with modern details brought our moody vision to life. The forecast predicted stormy weather on the day of our styled shoot, but we were determined to persevere through any and all conditions. Although it was absolutely pouring throughout most of the day, we refused to let the elements rain on our parade (pun intended). Although the weather posed a serious challenge, the environment actually added a quality to our images which we could not have planned for. The dreary look of the skies, the puddles on the ground, the rain-sprinkled hair, and the reflections from the mist took our moody inspiration to the next level. What we thought was a negative turned into a positive, and it just goes to show that beautiful weddings do not always require beautiful weather. This styled shoot did so much more than enhance the character of the Historic Santa Maria Inn; it also perfectly showcased the reality of weddings throughout all seasons. A couple can plan down to the very last detail, but sometimes the unexpected sets the tone and provides true inspiration for that special day.
