Saint Valentines Inspiration Board + a sneak peek

Happy Valentines everyone!!! Did you all have a wonderful weekend? I went down to the stunning Hawkes Bay and saw Sting in concert at the Mission Estate which was truly fabulous!! It's such a gorgeous part of the country too, I can see why so many couples choose to get married there amongst the beautiful vineyards. So I hope all you romantics (and even the not-so-romantics) have something lovely planned for the day. I know we're a little bit more low-key over Valentines day here in New Zealand... in fact when I jokingly mentioned a 'grandiose present' to my husband, he told me that grand gestures were hollow and every day was Valentines day in our house!! Really he did say that... and he's kinda right. We don't go all out with big things, a card is about the extent of our givings and he tends to do random things throughout the year rather than at the time 'he's expected to'. And I truly believe that sometimes it's the littlest every day things which are the most romantic. What do you think, would you rather have a grand gesture on February 14th each year, or less obviously romantic thoughts throughout the year?

Below is a little sneak peek at a shoot I worked on last week with the fabulous team of Greta from Vela Images, Judit from Artisan Cakes, and Melissa from Eterno. And below that, the board that inspired it.

This palette is just so soft + subtle. Not being huge into Valentine's Day, this is the perfect combination for me! {A}

Kate first, I agree. David always gives little gifts and grand gestures through out the year that he calls Valentine's Day for amateurs. Second, love, love the sneak peek and I love the board. Cannot wait to see the rest!

I absolutely agree with you - the littlest things are the most romantic. I used to date a guy who would bring me flowers randomly...all handpicked by him and a sloppy type of bouquet...but it was one of the best gestures ever! And WOW, WOW, WOW...Okay sweetie I can't wait to see the magic you worked! This sneak peek is amazing...as is the board! I can only imagine what goodness we are all in store for! Yay for you Kate - love seeing you do shoots!!! You are so super duper talented my friend!!!
