Hot (and Cool) Wedding Colors | Pantone’s 2016 Colors of the Year

By True Photography, January 12, 2016 Trends

Along with the New Year comes the announcement of Pantone’s Color of the Year! For 2016, Pantone broke from tradition for the first time in history, and made not one but two selections: Rose Quartz and Serenity. These colors combine aspects of warm and cool tones, creating a perfect sense of fresh balance and calm. We decided to show how Pantone’s winners can add to the wedding day fun, and create new possibilities this wedding season.

As you will see in the photos below, both Rose Quartz and Serenity make for dynamic and memorable wedding accent colors. The subtle, muted blues of Serenity are cool and tranquil, while Rose Quartz complements with its punch of pink vibrance. When paired together, the romantic, sunset effect will leave your guests enchanted. Both colors are great any time of year, and can be augmented by a variety of greens and purples, or splashes of silver and yellow. In addition, these hues can be found in the natural environment, creating a dramatic and artistic backdrop for wedding day images.

If you’re looking to add an elegant twist to your big day, we’ve gathered the perfect inspiration for incorporating these trending colors. Scroll through the images below highlighting Rose Quartz and Serenity, and make sure to pin your favorites :)

Elegant CaliPaso Winery Wedding | Michele and Levi

By True Photography, December 11, 2015 Weddings

CaliPaso Winery is a luxurious private inn and winery nestled in the hills of Paso Robles, halfway between Los Angeles and San Fransisco. This exceptional wedding venue features Italian-inspired architecture and décor, sweeping views of the countryside, and panoramic surrounding vineyards. As we scouted the property, we were excited to find hidden spots and backgrounds to add drama to the photos. We couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque location :)

The ceremony took place on a lawn overlooking a beautiful villa, with a grand staircase as a backdrop. Later, the reception was held in the courtyard of the inn, with a bubbling fountain at the center. As Michele, Levi and their guests danced the night away, the evening hours were stunningly lit by Central Coast Tent & Party, who also provided the custom furniture.

The resulting photos have a timeless quality, and capture the elegance of the day. Here is a selection of our favorites.

Venue: CaliPaso Winery
Florals: Julia’s Flowers

Farm-Fresh Outdoor Colorado Wedding | Elizabeth and Matthew

By True Photography, December 09, 2015 Weddings

We were delighted to photograph Elizabeth and Matthew’s wedding at The Lyons Farmette. This rustic venue is next to the town of Lyons, Colorado, just east of Rocky Mountain National Park. The property is surrounded by beautiful cottonwood trees, rolling fields, and a tranquil stream.

In addition to hosting beautiful weddings, The Lyons Farmette is also an organic farm and education center. As you would expect, the gorgeous outdoor environment was the perfect location for this energetic young couple to wed. Instead of a hotel suite, the property boasted a charming Airstream trailer, where the bride prepared for her big day. The charming reception site was enhanced by the presence of classic cars, barns, tractors, and farm animals, including Nigerian Dwarf goats :)

For added character, Tracey Eaton of True Blue Vintage Rentals placed antique furniture throughout the venue. The wedding was flowered to precision by Flowers Forever Design. There were countless environmental props for us to use, which led to fun and distinctive photos of their day. We hope you enjoy this Rocky Mountain Wedding full of beauty & fun!

When we photograph a first look, like the one above, we aim to capture the moment in a discreet and romantic spot. We then take a step back and capture all of the emotion as it unfolds.

Props, props, everywhere are props!!
