Luxury Picnic & Boho Elopement Styled Shoot for photographers in Chambersburg, PA

The vision for this luxury picnic & boho elopement styled shoot for photographers is something Taylor Smith Photo Video & I (better known as The Tayem Photo Co.) have wanted to host since the first day we met.

Although the day was not without its learning curves, we wouldn’t trade a single moment of it!

Certainly, this day would never have been possible without all of our collaborators.

Endless thanks to the following amazing humans who helped make this happen:

Makeup: Brachelle’s Beauty Lounge

Hair: Christina Cline

Hosts & set curation: Em Katrina Photo & Taylor Smith Photo Video

Charcuterie board: The Carving Board

Models: Rachel & Victor Kolbay

Styled shoot for photographers – Location

When planning this content day, the first place that came to mind was my grandmother’s land. At the end of August the butterfly bushes were in full bloom with all the wildlife floating around.

The models

Rachel & Vic are recently married in April and Taylor was their photographer. These two drove the whole way from Virginia to PA just to be our models and absolutely nailed every bit of it!

Bohemian Elopement

The best part about them only getting married 5 months ago? The wedding attire still fit perfectly!! Rachel is one of the few brides who got two wears out of her one dress and it definitely deserved a second appearance!

How it worked

Taylor and I would begin by putting the couples in poses and snapping a few photos to warm up the other photographers and allow them to shoot alongside us. After a couple of minutes, we would step aside and let them take over directing and moving the couple to build the best content for their brand. And after about 15 minutes we would switch out our groups of photographers, usually split into 2-3 per group.
