Delicate Garden Party: WeddingDay’s Exclusive Northern Indiana Cover Shoot
Kaitlyn Smale | October 8, 2024Gina Bombin-Wilk, owner of Sugar on the Rim Events, took inspiration from her own lavender garden when dreaming up the design for our spring/summer Northern Indiana cover shoot. She says, “The fresh, sweet smell of lavender fills the room and your worries melt away. What a beautiful way to create nostalgia on such a special day.” Because she usually works with a bolder color palette, Gina wanted to take this opportunity to challenge herself to create something softer. Incorporating plenty of shades of purple and sprigs of greenery allowed Gina and her team to lean into the current trend of delicate elegance!

Emerald & Bows: A Glamorous & Whimsical Style Shoot in Grand Rapids
Allyson Hutchison | September 16, 2024The vision behind this style shoot was born from a collaboration of two photographers who wanted to bring two different shoot styles to life: a bright and airy style and a rich, elegant style. The team utilized pink and emerald to separate the two themes and incorporated plenty of elegant rentals that worked perfectly with both styles. To make sure the two themes shined through, multiple looks were included. From an elegant, traditional gown and a 1920s throwback to a modern bridal pantsuit and chic blush bridesmaid's dress, every look fit the glam, fun and whimsical vibe of the shoot! One of our favorite touches is the stationery from The Printed Event, who was able to combine both sides of this shoot beautifully, using both pink and green touches.
