Today we’re showing the second half of the nautical inspiration shoot we worked on as Very Merry Events’ San Francisco wedding photographer! We had the opportunity to get together with some of the biggest wedding talent in the bay area at the always gorgeous Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery to make this modern nautical wedding inspiration shoot come to life!
As a San Francisco wedding photographer, we are always excited when we see fresh ideas at events, weddings and shoots. When we heard that Mary Phan of Very Merry Events had an idea for a modern take on the traditional nautical theme, we were so excited! We love the incorporation of gold, bright tangerine and crisp white to create wedding ideas that we know brides will be swooning over.
These floral arrangements were so unique and we had lots of fun photographing them as the San Francisco wedding photographer on this team. Atelier Joya did an awesome job combining flowers with fruits to create one of a kind textures for the centerpieces of this Casa Real nautical shoot.
The use of multiple smaller centerpieces really made this table seem full, vibrant and rich with color and texture. These are the kinds of things we love to see when we walk into a wedding reception for the first time and start snapping photos of all of the details as a couple’s San Francisco wedding photographer.
Mary switched it up a bit with orange linens replacing the crisp white ones with the stenciled numbers. This was a perfect change and would be great for any event including a wedding, shower, rehearsal dinner or brunch!
The little touches of sand dollars and fruits created an atmosphere that any guest would enjoy as they made their way to their place at the table.
Another change up included this super fun patterned tablecloth from La Tavola Linens. Mirroring the pattern on the dinner menu stationery, it was a fun option to the solid navy linens used before. As a San Francisco wedding photographer, we love being surprised, especially since we love the trend of layering patterns!
More details of the patterned table cloth and dinner menus paired with the same floral arrangements and gold leaf votives show how versatile a lot of the elements used in this nautical themed shoot really are.
We hope you got as inspired as we were while we captured the photos at this beautiful nautical inspiration shoot at Casa Real and designed by Very Merry Events! A huge thanks again to all of the wonderful vendor friends we worked with. We can’t wait until the next event!
