{ valentines day tea party }

Happy Valentines Day dear friends! I hope you're having a lovely day already - although I'm not actually a big fan of the commercialized, red, pink, and white celebration of love, I truly am a big fan of love itself. So rather than doing a traditional "valentines" day shoot, I wanted to organize and plan a tasteful, delicate, natural, and fun inspiration shoot in honour of love! With the help of some incredible Edmonton vendors, (which are listed at the bottom of this shoot), I was able to create this dreamy little tea party for two. My models and best friends, Jenna & Travis, are a real-life couple who live out a real-life romance and are so in love with each other!!

Many thanks to all the lovely people who helped make this shoot dreamy and full of love!
