A Tropical Cuban Themed Styled Shoot | Hotel Havana 10.26.21

The combination of Hotel Havana’s architecture, bold tablescape (courtesy of Ivory Lane), and Gillian’s incredible photography make for the most vibrant wedding inspiration! These photos alone can lift your spirits. I had a blast using so much color and experimenting with tropicals!

I have to touch on the incredible vendor team. The entire shoot felt like a play date for me I was having that much fun! Every single one of them was honest, hardworking, and so so generous with their time and talents. When we did this shoot I was planning to move to Corpus Christi and was so pumped to have more opportunities working with this talented bunch, as I was anticipating working in San Antonio most often. Little did I know that one month later God would reveal to us that Dallas was the plan! Since I am just a little bit further away now, I’ll take any chance I can get to team up with these ladies again. Brides, I’m looking at you!

I am also excited to announce that Inspired By This has featured this shoot in their blog! If you’d love to read some more about the day, you can find it here. Some other notable mentions are the gorgeous diamonds from Diamonds Direct! Such a luxury! Hotel Havana’s restaurant, Ocho, is the perfect setting on the San Antonio river walk for drinks with friends, a micro wedding, or a private party. I am dying for someone I know to get engaged in San Antonio to throw the coolest engagement party! Before I sign off, do me a favor and please admire the work of art that Jax Studio created on Jennifer’s eyes with two-toned eyeliner- I’m in love!
