Prepared for Jordan & Orchsley

Cinematic Holiday Photoshoot Location & Style Guide

Hi, Jordan & Orchsley! Based on our communications, I’ve prepared a list of locations and associated style guides that I think will bring your vision to life! Please review and let me know if you have any questions, comments, or want to change anything.

Also keep in mind that I’m here to help tell your story so, if you think I’ve totally missed the mark, just let me know (I promise you won’t hurt my feelings) and we can re-calibrate!

Locations

When we last spoke, you requested Winter Park locations that were

minimalist and natural

said “romantic” and “sentimental”

and highlighted your connection

here are a few locations that came to mind:

Entrance to Elon College with a wrought iron archway and white pillars, surrounded by lush green trees and plants.

Rollins College ** above image is not my work**

  • Some of the pins on your Pinterest board reminded me of Rollins College! A little bit of old European architecture and a little bit of green lawns and gardens.

    It’s also free to shoot at and has Central Park nearby to wander to!

  • I’m not sure how Rollins decorates for the holidays; and while I’m always a fan of neutrals for photos, I think you could also add some subtle green or red gem tones (so, more emerald and ruby) in your outfits for this location.

    I think Rollins also pairs with a more casual vibe, but is versatile enough to also accompany a dressy/classy look especially with Central Park nearby.

Cypress Grove Park ** above image is not my work**

  • Cypress Grove Park features large open lawns, lake-side views, big trees with hanging Spanish moss, and also an estate that’s gorgeous!

    I’m also not sure how they decorate for the holidays, but I would bet that we would lean more on props (mistle toe, etc.) and/or wardrobe to bring in the holiday spirit.

  • I definitely think this location fits more of “The Notebook” style pins on your board!

    I envision like a tea-length white dress and Orchsley in khakis and either white or we could also play with some color for him too. Just really lean into the “LalaLand” and Jordan Sparks romance films!

Celebration ** above image is not my work**

  • Celebration just has always looked like a small town movie set to me - very Gilmore Girls!

    The lampposts and businesses should all be decked out for the holidays too!

  • Ok, Celebration gives me more of those Hallmark movie vibes!

    I really think you guys could dress this up or down anyway!
