Wedding Planner Margot & Co Studio Branding Session

Baltimore Studio Branding Session on Film & Super 8

So funny story: I went viral on TikTok and Instagram last year for a wedding video. Margot, who was about to start her own wedding planning business in the DMV area found me and thought it was kismet that I do her branding session for her new website and brand, Margot and Co Creative, DC based wedding planning and design.

Our vision, creatively and how we interact with clients and other businesses, just lined up. She loves an alternative or untraditional wedding couple, just like me. She’s obsessed with film and loved that I also shoot Super 8 film, so we booked her branding session in my natural light studio in Baltimore.

Margot and her teammate came in with the most stunning custom sets, brought in She Loves Me, an amazing florist in DC, to adorn their tables, Stradley Davidson for their linens, Something Vintage for their rentals, and Minted Weddings for their stationary. Don’t even get me started on their chic and sparkly outfits and custom matching sweat suits.

Margot wanted to speak to the film loving wedding couple. The couple who goes for the unique design, instead of the classic and traditional. The couple that wants to weird flowers, or unique patterning. They serve the client with a distinct and stylish design eye and Margot wanted their branding to reflect just that.

We played with medium format film, 35mm film point and shoot, unique flat lay and detail shots, flash, unique lighting, and of course a super cool Super 8 film (that starts right when you go to their website). What we created in a few hours in my studio was honestly, just nothing short of super cool and something totally unique that I usually don’t see from wedding planners in my area.

Working with, not only another woman owned business, but a new business forging its was in the wedding space was not only super cool but such a great way for Margot and I to really get to know each other and feel each others vision so that when we work weddings together, we are in total sync the whole time!
