“Rust and Flourish” flower shop in Oakland, CA

There are these feelings of honor, and gratitude, that I’m feeling every time I got hired by another creative to create branding images. For Ricci from “Rust and Flourish” that was our second time, when we meet and create brand representation for her together. We plan, discuss and on the day - we meet and let the magic of creative flow. Ricci will design her beautiful pieces and then we will discuss and style together and I will photograph all the beauty she has for me. Ricci values film images the most. I don’t know if this is because she was classically trained in photography or it is because she respects the sense of nostalgia that analog images bring. Either way, here are the beautiful results we created together. Everything is photographed on medium format film and scanned and developed by Richard Photo Lab.

And if you ever need a beautiful floral centerpiece for your table or for your wedding day, stop by her Oakland, CA shop and say hi. “Rust and Flourish” is a place that value sustainability and all the florals are carefully selected from local flower farm. Ricci is not using flower foam and really cares about our planet.
