CHASING STONE

Everything about this suite is SO dreamy ☁️ it feels like a fairytale wedding captured in an invitation suite. The soft, romantic tones and textures, and those vintage-style vellum prints… it all adds such a timeless, almost storybook feel. I love how every suite can feel so personal - a reflection of the couple and their day. And the lace edge on the envelope… there’s just so much thought and beauty in all the little details. Love your work @junepress 🤍 Featured flat lay surface: Chateau #Flatlays #stylingsurface #stylingsurfaces #destinationphotographer #texturedbackdrop

How you photograph your florals matters. In a world full of so many incredible florists, it can be hard to stand out and step into that premium space. You can have the most BEAUTIFUL arrangement, but if the background isn’t considered, it won’t translate the same on camera (and this is the part that matters!). A backdrop adds that depth, tone, and editorial feel - instantly making your work look more elevated and intentional. It’s such a small shift… but it can change everything about how your work is seen. Love this perfect example by @petalehaus 🤍 You get it — your florals are absolutely glowing here.

Meet Bronzite - our new dark chocolate brown backdrop. I’m loving seeing this one come to life… those deep, rich tones give such a beautiful moody feel while still holding a natural warmth that works so effortlessly with skin tones. It’s bold, but still so wearable across every kind of shoot Available online now 🤎 Florals: @petalandsaltfloral Photography: @albanykatz Workshop/Educators: @sirenfloralco @flowers_by_karis Makeup: @kcwitkamp Model: @revivedbyliv Ribbon: @silkandwillow #backdrops #photobackdrop #photographybackdrops #texturedbackdrop #weddingphotography

You know those moments where everything looks perfect… except the background 😅 The bride looks incredible, the light is there, but the space just isn’t giving you anything to work with. That’s exactly why so many photographers bring a backdrop. Instead of trying to work around cluttered rooms or distracting backgrounds, you create something clean and consistent that actually supports your subject. It’s such a simple shift, but it makes a huge difference in how your images come together. Such a gorgeous example of this by @adenhenryphoto 🤍 you captured this so beautifully. We’ve shared more tips like this in our journals if you’re wanting to refine your approach.

Dark backdrops do something different… They don’t compete - they anchor everything. All of a sudden the lighter tones feel brighter, the textures feel richer, and every little detail has somewhere to land. It creates depth without needing to add more. This navy tone is the perfect example. Deep, layered, and just enough variation to keep things interesting while still letting the subject do its thing. It’s a subtle shift… but it changes everything ✨ Featured surface: Ceanothus Flat Lay Design: @kalebnormanjames #Flatlays #stylingsurface #stylingsurfaces #destinationphotographer #fabricflatlay

If your work has been feeling a little repetitive lately, it’s probably not what you’re shooting… it’s how you’re approaching it. These journals have been such a helpful way to step back, refine your eye, and try new approaches without overcomplicating everything. They’re there to support you as you grow - helping you see things differently, feel more intentional, and bring more variety into your work. There’s a whole library waiting for you whenever you need it 🤍 #ChasingStone #PhotographyTips #BackdropTips #Photographybackdrop #CreativeTools

It’s never just about placing your main piece in the centre… it’s about how everything around it supports it. Those little details, the direction of a ribbon, the way florals are placed, the spacing between elements… they all guide your eye without you even realising. It’s subtle, but it’s what makes a flat lay feel intentional instead of just arranged ✨ Featured surface: Tulsi Flat lay design & stationery: @sweetzionpaperie #Flatlays #stylingsurface #stylingsurfaces #destinationphotographer #destinationphotographers

The richness of these tones… just SO good. That deep burgundy against the soft pink of our Joshua Tree flat lay creates the most beautiful contrast, bold but still refined, dramatic without feeling heavy. Everything feels so intentional, from the layered textures to those GORGEOUS bar menus. Such a stunning way to bring depth and mood into your reception details - this is one that many will be saving for their mood boards!!

You know when an arrangement looks effortless, (but you know it wasn’t 😅), the balance here is just so good! Full and abundant, yet still soft and controlled, nothing feels overworked. Those orchids through the peachy tones with that airy texture… dreamy! So BEAUTIFULLY done by @lalavandeflowers 🤍 Featured Backdrop: Sandstone #photographybackdrop #portraitphotography #photographygear #florist #texturedphotographybackdrop
