While shopping at friend Donna O’Brien’s Beautiful Blooms Boutique last year I had a vision! She carries a line of locally grown lavender from a farm near Doylestown, PA. I wanted to do an ethereal bohemian fashion shoot in the lavender field at sunset. With a little help from my friends my vision came true. The shoot took place at the gorgeous Carousel Lavender Farms. Even Martha Stewart Magazine did a soot there, so I’m in good company! Nicole Bridal of Jenkintown, PA provided the beautiful Claire Pettibone gowns. I knew a bohemian theme could only be Claire Pettibone and Nicole Bridal is the only salon to carry the line in PA or NJ, lucky me. Claudia Seyler did such a perfect job capturing that “boho” look. It was everything I envisioned. Finishing off the team was Beautiful Blooms. I will have a series of stunning bouquets, lavender and otherwise, perfect for a Midsummer Night’s Dream wedding. There is so much more to this shoot, including flower girl inspirations. I will be sharing more throughout the year!

Ellen LeRoy - I’ve got a bad case of photo-drool. These pictures are amazingly gorgeous and wonderfully inspired. Awesome job.
Donna O'Brien - Marie this was so much fun! I am glad that we finally got to do this shoot! I can’t wait to go back!
Toray - This is such a beautiful field! Being a photographer myself I see exactly why you chose to shoot here and it’s right in my backyard considering I live in Yardley, PA. I will be getting married next year and I’m getting my gown from Nicole Bridal so I’m so happy to see their beautiful dresses being featured in your blog. Great job!
