Pink Color Inspiration & Rustic Romantic Wedding

I have been drawn to pink lately, but until I looked up the meaning behind the color I never knew some of its color psychology. Did you know the color stimulates energy, encourages action and confidence? Most of the time when I think of pink I think of its youthful, lighthearted and passionate meanings.

And of course that is in the forefront of my mind right now with having just finished with Laura's wedding. I have a few photo's to share with you and a link to the photographers preview! Laura sent me the link with one word "Wow" and I must say you will be swooning over those photographs too! So when your done with the post hop on over to the link at the end of the post!

* These three photographs by Theresa Huse


Her sister Jenni who was her Maid of Honor wore these pink shoes!


Laura and Charles theme was Rustic / Romantic pink flower swooning


Soft, Sweet  and Shades of Pink / Sisterly Love


Pink is a tint of red, or red with white added to lighten the color. Pink can also go red-orange (Coral) or red-violet (Magenta aka "Hot Pink").


I can see using this palette for painting



After seeing myself in some photos and my dress I have to admit I am ready for some spring training to drop some weight I have gained. I am swooning over this pink bike with a basket full of roses!

 Don't forget to visit FloryPhoto.com to see a preview of the special wedding I was part of. They are very beautiful! Kelly and her assistant Nirav did an amazing job!  Her sister Jenni did the makeup and hair *site in process. 

I made the banners, mustaches and table scape s, place-cards, signs and floral designs. Amy helped with the floral work and set up! The wedding was held at the BarnDiva, Healdsburg, CA.

Nature Photography

I thought I would share some photography I took when visiting Healdsburg, CA. The fields are lush green, rocks covered in moss, roses frozen but on the vine and the air was crisp. How could you not be inspired?
Below is a collage of images that I took. 



 Then I thought I might take one of the  snapshots and alter it a few times to get some different looks and these are the photographs with some changes & what I used to achieve them.



This is almost true to the original image but I lightened the exposure.



This photograph I added contrast and adjusted the color a bit, fixed exposure and put a cinema scope frame on it.



This last one here has textures over laid and then I played with the exposure to give it a more forest feel.

Honestly I think I have just fallen in love with textures. I might have to take some other images and alter them now. Have you ever altered your photography? Played with textures? How does nature inspire you?
