Vendor Love | Inspired by This Blog

I want to share one of my favorite sites with you today – Emerson Made! I’m so inspired by their style, their accessories and their blooms. The masterminds behind these gorgeous creations are Emerson and her husband Ryan. I asked Emerson Made about how they got started and what inspires them, and here’s what Ryan had to say:

“In terms of getting started, Emerson initially made some fabric flowers for herself. People would stop her on the street and ask her where she got them. One thing led to another and not to long there after we had grown enough to hire a staff at our mill in New Hampshire. Since then we have had a growing focus on clothing and accessories. However we do have a new revamped line of flowers coming out shortly. For inspiration, she borrows the best things from everyday life and finds inspiration in all she see’s of nature and city streets. But most of all she focuses on things that bring out and provoke the positive within.”

Today (and everyday!) we love the amazing photographer Leo Patrone. My team and I have had the chance to get to know him and work with him and I have to say that he is one of the sweetest people in the industry! No ego, just pure talent. You can really tell that he loves what he does, it comes across in his gorgeous work. Here’s the story behind the artist:

I was born in Argentina and moved to the US when I was 14. I had always been interested in art and music, but after I shot a Canon AE1 for the first time, I fell in love with photography. My approach to photography is fine art, and I shoot exclusively with film, because I love its timeless look and feel. I have a unique process: I shoot every event myself, and I personally develop and scan all of my own film. Having control over the whole process ensures that my images have a consistent quality, color, look, and feel. I love shooting weddings worldwide; I’ve photographed events in Italy, Spain, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Singapore, Indonesia, Argentina and all over the US. When shooting weddings, my main goal is to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera, so they can be themselves and have photographs that make them happy and reflect their unique personalities.
