I recently had the great fortune to photograph a fabulous event called the Derby Garden Party, which was designed and styled by the über-talented Sarah Sofia Productions. You can check out her blog for even more details here. The photoshoot was also featured on the ever-so-popular Sweetly Chick Events & Design website.

My first post is all about gorgeous setup (sans the equally gorgeous models). The details are just  perfect, right? This is what Sarah Sofia had to say about her event, “Whether you are throwing a Kentucky Derby Party, Derby inspired wedding, or hosting a tent at a horserace this spring, you will love this Derby inspired party.”
