Gatherings
As summer floats on by, we’re waxing nostalgic about all things lakeside. From cool and kitschy summer-camp-by-the-lake vibes to posh European lake getaways to our favorite American national parks with lakes, we’ve got starry eyes for all things lake-able. Gather your towels and SPF and let’s head out to where the water is clear and the sunshine is bright.

A shipwreck summer is a feeling. It's wind in your hair, sand in your toes, and the salty mist of the sea on your cheeks. It's a carefree, washed ashore mermaid vibe surrounded by driftwood and rocky shores with tables that are messy, imperfect and not fussed over. It's shucking oysters yourself and not caring that your hands are dirty. It's drinking rosé straight from the bottle and collecting seashells while doing it. Maybe it's a pirate state of mind. We’ve sailed the great seas, swam in deep oceans, kayaked rivers, and dipped into creeks to bring you our not-so-basic beach summer soirée collection. Whether you’re looking to throw a party at a rusty old docking station or soak up some ocean air in the Carolinas, come discover resorts in the South, remote glamping spots, and even a place where you can host a storm watching party in British Columbia's best kept secret cove complete with rainforests. So, if you’re looking to get shipwrecked with your best of friends this summer, we’ve got you covered.

It's no secret we've been seriously inspired by Buzzworthy Events SF for some time now. We are a lover of the unexpected, juxtapositions, carefully curated textures and of course, off-the-beaten path gathering spaces. It's the main reason we were drawn to this utterly inspired shoot with chunky knits and midriff tops, gunmetal cafe chairs and rough hewn wood, a reasonably sunny locale shot delightfully in the rain. Mainly, it's the way Ashley Smith of Buzzworthy Events SF & Brittany Waddell of BrittRene Photo took an expected and utterly lovely space and gave it a good-old fashioned gathering twist that has captured our hearts.
