Sam Rueter is an engaged local artist in Charleston, SC. Her work is absolutely stunning, well curated, and uniquely feminine & empowering.
I styled her in a simple white dress, and then topped it with 2 different layers to give textured sleeves, so you will see three different looks in these images, all revolving around the one dress.
For this shoot, I also created a variety of floral arrangements including a cactus, succulent, and floral arranged hat. Each floral was a little darker but consisting of bright reds or purples to give a deepness to the look.
One of the most special and unique pieces of this shoot are the cakes we collaborated on. I really wanted to incorporate some of Sam's abstract designs into the shoot and thought that this would be such a unique way to do so. I asked Sam if she would be interested in painting a cake if I made one and she said absolutely! She painted two different looks and together we decorated them with flowers, cactus, and succulents before the shoot.
