Props. Ask anyone around here how they feel about them and you may hear one or two groans. They slow us down, they’re expensive and they can be challenging to source. With that said, good props are essential to making images that feel full, lived in and authentic.
So, you can imagine how elated we felt when we hit the prop jackpot on our recent Vancouver production. It was a long shot, but when our very own Pinterest addict, Drew Myers, stumbled across Bespoke Décor Rentals he reached out to owner/stylist/curator, Ashton. Drew asked if we could come poke around for some party props to decorate our upcoming ‘Celebrations’ shoot. She loved the idea, opening her huge bay doors for us to pull anything we wanted (cut to us running around like kids in a candy store).
With her props, we were able to fill our set with stylish details that truly made the cast and crew feel like they were part of a real woodland celebration. When people feel like they’re at a party it makes getting great photos a much easier task.
Thank you to Ashton and Bespoke Décor, we hope we did your props justice and that you are able to decorate your already amazing Instagram page with a few of our shots.
