R Stuart & Co wine bar

Do you think it was hard for Maria Stuart to get volunteer models for this photo shoot? After all the job description might have been something like this: “Wanted: Happy, friendly people to come drink wine and enjoy themselves.” Oh, and you have to eat some yummy food, too.

It’s always a pleasure to shoot for R Stuart & Co. They recently updated their label art (it’s gorgeous) and wanted to expand on their library of marketing images. The great thing about working with Maria and Rob Stuart is that they share their basic goal then let us run with our ideas. It’s often free form and creative and sometimes we’re all surprised with some of the images. In this case, I think the outdoor images were the unexpected photos. It was a lovely evening, the models were connecting well and it comes across nicely.
