Celebrating Summer

The idea for this unique shoot came from a love of outdoor fun and relaxation. We wanted to celebrate the special time when the weather breaks and we break out flip flops & swimsuits and stargaze around the campsite, bellies full of s’mores.
The couple’s stationery was both playful and sophisticated with watercolor painted illustrations and copper foil accents. Amber Dominique Designs used canvas and kraft papers to highlight the rich colors, vintage line art and detailed map.

Beach We Be Camping

Being able to enjoy both beach and camping adventures is rare because they are not often in close proximity. However in the heart of Hampton Roads, Virginia lies a special place that features both; similar to the way a marriage unites two very different people. First Landing State Park is located in Virginia Beach and is the perfect backdrop to combine rustic and elegant components for a glamping wedding that will wow any adventure loving couple.
