Paine Arts Center and Gardens | Oshkosh Styled Shoot

I had so much fun putting together this Fall’s styled shoot! The Paine Arts Center and Gardens is absolutely gorgeous in Fall (and all year long) and I had to make use of it. I decided to put together an all around love themed styled shoot that would feature 3 sets of couples. Bride and Groom, Bride and Bride, and Groom and Groom. I couldn’t be more excited about the results!

It had been raining like crazy the week of the shoot, but we lucked out and had a few moments of sunshine. Literally — the exact 90 minutes that we needed it to be not raining for the shoot, it didn’t rain. I don’t think mother nature could have played out much better than that. But even with the rain, we had the chance to experiment a little and brought out the color bombs! SO much fun!!! Granted we only really had one shot at it, and there is just two photos but overall, still fun.

Collaborating with other creatives is probably one of the best reasons to ever put together a styled shoot. It’s not often that wedding vendors get to have full creative freedom on a wedding day. So, putting shoots like this allows for everyone to really think outside the box and bring their best foot forward and try new and adventurous things.

I worked with some new wedding vendors this time around and am thrilled with the results. Sweet N Easy Events was a dream to work with. So much planning involved and the entire vision came together so flawlessly. Seriously….the tablescape, the amazing florals and all the pretty lights and decor!!! They really put it all in and it shows!!

I enjoyed our morning chats at Starbucks during the planning process and can’t wait to continue to work with them in the future. We’ve already started geeking out about what we want to try to do next 🙂

Another new vendor was Amelishan Bridal. They have an incredible variety of wedding gowns and Sara, truly helped me select the perfect dresses that went with what I was looking for. A little blue on one of the gowns from the color bomb but all was good. I’d have to say, Stannard Dry Cleaners in Oshkosh was amazing to work with. The owner even talked to me directly and calmed any reservations I might have or any concerns about not getting the gowns back to tip top shape. By no means is this “normal” for me. But they were so great and I picked up the gowns the next day and they were beautiful!! Mother nature may have loved me for a bit but that rain in general made a whole lot of mud!

Our brides rocked their dresses and beautiful rings from Amelishan Bridal and Alyssa and Anna Fine Jewelry. Our bride and groom nailed it with the most perfect gown from Erika’s Bridal. One of my favorite places in our area for wedding gowns, plus they have such a friendly staff. And our groom groom couple dawned some formal wear from Modern Man in Green Bay. I am so excited to share these images with you! Enjoy!
