Italian Inspired Garden Party
This Italian-inspired garden party was the definition of timeless romance — full of soft light, stunning tablescapes, and European charm right in the heart of Cleveland, Ohio. Hosted by myself, Jordan Lee Photography and Gina Marie Presti Photo. This styled shoot brought together an incredible team of creatives to celebrate old world elegance with a fresh, modern approach.
Set against the stunning architecture and gardens of the Cleveland Historical Society, the scene came alive with lush florals, textured linens, and delicate Italian details that transported everyone straight to Tuscany. From the vintage glassware to the olive branch accents, every element told a story of connection, warmth, and beauty.
Each creative contributed something unique, blending their artistry to create a day that felt like stepping into an Italian summer evening.
Why We Love Styled Shoots
Styled shoots are such a special part of the wedding industry. They’re where creativity meets collaboration. It’s not just about pretty details (though there are plenty of those), it’s about bringing together talented vendors who share a love for artistry, storytelling, and beautiful design.
Every styled shoot is a chance to dream a little bigger. It’s an opportunity to try something new. Whether that’s an unexpected color palette, a bold tablescape, or a fresh take on bridal fashion. These shoots allow each creative to showcase their craft in a way that feels personal and inspired, without the time or pressure of a wedding day timeline.
They’re also an incredible way to connect with your ideal clients. By intentionally styling a shoot that reflects your aesthetic, you’re visually communicating what kind of weddings make your heart come alive. When couples see your work from a styled shoot, they’re drawn to the story, the feeling, and the vision behind it, and that’s where the best collaborations begin.
At the end of the day, styled shoots remind us why we fell in love with this industry in the first place: community, creativity, and the joy of creating something beautiful, together.
