Moody, Modern & Whimsical Fall Inspired Styled Shoot at La Hacienda

Our inspiration from this shoot came from some photos we saw on Pinterest, that were high contrast with a modern essence, and with peach and eggplant for the foundational colors. Whimsical vibes are our absolute favorite at MDP Events, so we really wanted to create a shoot that brought together whimsical and modern elements, and also had a moody, yet romantic vibe. We also wanted to showcase high contrast fall tones, without going for the typical warm fall colors and jewel tones that everyone expects. For this reason, we chose eggplant, pink, peach, light orange, white, and muted natural tones for our color scheme.
