INSPIRE | Aqua + Red

It's no secret that color can evoke feeling and affect mood. When choosing a color scheme for your wedding those colors set the tone for your special day. Aqua and Red are the perfect balance of tranquility and energy. This palette is both vibrant and gender-neutral. Now that is a perfect match!

DEFINE| Blue/Aqua represents peace, tranquility, calm, stability, harmony, unity, and trust. Red is the warmest and most energetic color in the spectrum. We associate red with love, valentines, and desire.

Karen Harrison Photography


Lucky me, I had an opportunity to work with the fabulous Karen Harrison for a second time!! We started the session in a beautiful meadow on the perfect breezy day, with, get this, mini horses roaming around! Ahh- love it! The lighting, background, everything, was just gorgeous and Karen totally captured it all!
This portion of the shoot was an absolute blast AND an adventure! The incredibly cool rusty truck was in an area "guarded" by a huge hog. It wasn't until he came over to check us out (or attack us, which is what we thought at the time!) that we realized we didn't have cell phones on us and could be stranded ON the incredibly cool rusty truck for a really long time! It turns out the hog was completely friendly with a wiggly tail (international sign for friendliness, of course) and all. The photos turned out amazing and totally worth the, uh, danger.

Working with Karen is a truly wonderful experience. She is so very talented! The photo session is laid back and fun while she captures beautiful shots! Her follow up and overall customer service is second to none. Please view her website and blog to see more images.
