I am so excited to be posting these photos!  This was a huge collaboration and I love how everything came together.  Jenny Williams, Ella & Colton, and everyone at Windmill Winery are to thank for this shoot happening at all.  Jenny did an amazing job designing and planning, she also did all the floral arrangements and the bouquet!  Katie Christ, one of the owners, contributed so many props including the antique gown that Ella wore.  Ella wore three dresses, included a gown by the amazing KT Jean Designs in Phoenix, AZ.  Colton is such a sweet guy and we had a great time working together.  He was up for anything, which I love, and he was really patient too.  He and Mike worked really hard putting all the decorations up and Mike had a great time hanging out with him while I was running around in awe of how gorgeous everything was trying to figure out where to start.  Jessica Fierro was the make up artist and hair stylist and she could not have been more amazing. She is great at her job and so sweet!  I get so involved with the lighting and posing, that it was so nice knowing that Jessica was paying attention to retouching make up and making sure every hair was in place.  She will now be coming to Windmill Winery to meet with brides and I am so excited to work with her again.

Ella and Colton were a dream to work with!  We had such a fun time and they really got my goofy sense of humor.  We laughed and talked through the whole shoot.  Ella is a model, and she is great at it!  I do not like to give a ton of direction or posing because I like people and photos to look natural, she is so natural that I just needed to follow them around.  I took so many photos and almost every one is golden, so it was hard for me to narrow down which ones to show for this post. This post is paired with another shoot taken in the Windmill Winery’s barn, so check out all the gorgeous details and decorations from that shoot here!
