These photographs were taken a few weeks ago during an imagined game of croquet in the Panhandle near Golden Gate Park. We shot with the very talented Angela DeCenzo who was so much fun to work with. Angela, much like us, enjoys creating a story with pictures. What better way to celebrate the beginnings of summer then with an afternoon spent in the park with a game of croquet and a picnic? We dressed for the day, each wearing a vintage summer dress, woven sun hats, and sandals. It was a wonderful experience to play dress-up for the afternoon, and we both quickly learned that croquet was much more difficult to play then we originally thought (hence the lack of "action" shots of the very heated match). You may notice the crossed fingers in the second to last photograph. There may have been some cheating involved by a certain someone.
Angela takes wonderful photographs. We are particular fans of her editorial shots! You can find her here: blog/twitter/website
You ladies look gorgeous, and what dreamy, dreamy photos! I actually remember playing lots of croquet as a kid. I don't remember finding it that difficult, but that was probably because we all chronically cheated!
I was thinking as I looked through that these looked like a great editorial. They are like something from a vintage film. Wonderful photos and dresses.
hummingbird girls this is SO cute! i love this shoot. the sun is beautiful in the first one. your outfits are just the cutest! ah croquet too fun! the crossed fingers shot is so darling.
Enough of being a silent reader... You have possibly one of the most exceptional blogs I've ever laid eyes upon. Angela's work is wonderful, looks like an outing right up my street. If you have no objections, I would love to add you to my blogroll? x
These photos are so beautiful! You can seriously see how great friends you two are, and you both look gorgeous! I love the story behind it too, everything is perfect! x hannah
aw thiss was so cute, i thought it was real and was instantly jealous. all i do in my afternoons is slave in a cubicle or watch tv shows haha. love the woven hats- i've been hunting for one this summer!
You both look just perfect! Warm oranges and yellows are some of my favorite colors to wear in the summer, and croquet always reminds me of lazy afternoons spent at my grandmother's house. I love the whole tone of this shoot!
These pictures are beautiful and I love the croquet photo shoot idea. Both of you look gorgeous in your summery sun dresses. The hats are fantastic too! Everything about this post is perfect and I love it.
