Floral Artistry by Fleur & Lumière

"There are always flowers for those who want to see them." - Henri Matisse

Art has many forms, and one of the most lovely is floral artistry. Flowers are such beautiful, delicate things that only last for such a short while. They require great care and patience. My sweet friend Shannon from Fleur & Lumière is one of the most naturally talented floral designers I've met. She has a gift for seeing beauty and creating it from a messy array of options. A few weeks ago we met up, she creating as she does so effortlessly, and I merely watched, mesmerized by the process. Surrounded by the beauty of the ancient streets of St. Augustine, this is the story of how an artist creates...

Alex & Matt | Alys Beach Destination Photographer

December 09, 2015/ Jennifer Blair

There is something so incredibly romantic about doing an engagement session the day before your wedding. I'm so glad I was able to sneak away to Alys Beach with Alex and Matt for a few moments before their rehearsal dinner. The days before a destination wedding is so full with friends and family coming in to celebrate, so it's nice to get away for some moments alone in the midst of festivities. It's easy to see the eager anticipation these two share about tying the knot! Thank you for allowing me to capture your love, you two!

Michelle & Paul | Pebble Hill Plantation

It's hard to believe I'm actually sharing these images from Michelle and Paul's engagement from last month. We've dreamed of this day for so long and I honestly can't believe it's here. It is such an honor to document timeless memories for my sweet couples, but having the chance to do the same thing for family is almost too much for my heart! Sisters have one of the most special bonds I believe two people can have. She is truly one of my best friends. Thank you both for trusting me with your day. I love you two!

The Silence Between | Colorado Editorial No. 1

November 20, 2015/ Jennifer Blair

It is such an honor to have this shoot on Style Me Pretty's front page today. It has been a dream of mine for quite some time now. Mozart once said, "Music is not the notes, but the silence between." In a way, images are the silence between moments as well. Throughout this whole editorial, I sought to encapsulate that idea, the beautiful dichotomy between movement and stillness. Colorado seemed a natural and ideal location. Nature itself is a perfect contrast between grandeur and simplicity. It is the the ultimate in-between. It is not too much of one or the other. These ideas were the basis for this shoot. The objective was to create grandness in the simplest way possible, and to express the mystery of "the silence between" in a pensive manner.
