Julie & Caleb: A Poplar Springs Inn & Spa Bridal Shoot

About 6 months ago, I joined an amazing group of local female photographers.  We meet once a month, but are also available for each other daily through Facebook, email, text and coffee dates.  The Gainesville Pursuit 31 Group has become a place where I can share ideas, ask for advice and even request personal prayer.  It is a truly inspiring group of talented women and I am so honored to be a part of them.  

For this month's meet up, our fearless leader, Ali McLaughlin, hosted a gorgeous styled shoot.  A combination of talented vendors, a beautiful couple, and an intimate, secluded location, (Poplar Springs Inn & Spa), made for a dreamy August evening.

We bid farewell to summer with peaches, creams and blush pinks.  Beautiful greenery draped the tables while the candles softly flickered.  As the sun slowly set through the impending storm clouds, we learned from each other and made new friends.  It was nothing short of a perfect summer night.

It was impossible for me to narrow down this post to just a few images.  Julie and Caleb were so patient and sweet with all of us and it shows in their images.  They have been married for 7 years, but you would think they were newlyweds when you see them look at each other.  (And yes, that is Julie's original wedding dress!!).

Enjoy many of my favorites from such a memorable evening and please see the end of this post for a list of the talented vendors that made this gorgeousness possible!
