HOLA! I am out of the office at Astrid and Fred’s destination wedding in beautiful Mexico. I will get back to all messages/emails mid-week next week.

Adios muchachos.

This post has been a long time coming! I didn’t want to post it until it was “revealed” first on Style Me Pretty. First of all, I adore Tram and Tiko! They were my 2010 wedding giveaway winners and it has turned into so much more that that. They are the kindest, most generous, most loving couple. I am so happy to call them my friends. (their wedding post still to come, promise!) It started out as a meeting in Vicki’s office with the bride and groom about what type of styled shoot we could do for their “day after” session. We wanted a theme. After chatting and looking at a lot of inspiration we somehow came up with the idea to do a Moroccan theme. Maybe it was Tiko’s Cuban background, or maybe it was Tram’s love for travel. I dunno….but it sounded great! Once we settled on that Vicki was rolling with the ideas. Seriously, every little detail was made (the pillows), hung (the lanterns), chopped (can we say star fruit!), or orchestrated by Vicki and her team. She brought in the always amazing and inspired Holly Chapple to create the florals, and she did not disappoint. Check out the awesomeness that is the boutenierre. It’s amazing! (Holly also did the flowers for their wedding which had a super cool yellow/gray theme)
Okay, enough gushing, I will let the images do the talking now. Please contact me at kate@katetriano.com if you would like to talk about setting up YOUR day after session!
