Ode to Eire: A St. Patrick's Day Styled Shoot
March 17, 2018
From the photographer:
Our theme honors the heritage of the Emerald Isle with a styled shoot that brings a modern edge to the ancestral nostalgia that so many of the region joyfully celebrate. We included delightful details that are a nod to the history and traditions brought with the Irish immigrants that settled here, including colors of the Irish flag, Celtic knots and crosses, a horseshoe for good luck, and even a marriage certificate of one vendor’s grandparents who “came across the pond” and were married in America.
Paper Thick Ink played upon that bit of history with an invitation baring the names of the couple who were wed in 1932.
The lovely, bright space of The Blaisdell, freshly remodeled, was the perfect setting for our inspiration; a blending of historical architecture and romance of the manor updated with modern choices in finishes and furnishings. Staff at The Blaisdell were busy in preparation for their Ballroom Reveal Celebration (on March 17th!) but welcomed us with the hospitality of the Irish and made us feel at home while we played with beauty in their sunlit parlor.
Ask for the Moon events had the day planned perfectly, we moved smoothly between vignettes and details, enjoying laughter and wit, and stories of our own family’s histories and heritage.
