Behind the Scenes: Seattle Met Bride & Groom and Scout Provisions
Slideshow: Behind the scenes at Seattle Met Bride & Groom’s fashion shoot at the Herb Farm in Silverdale with Alan and Jodi Davis of Scout Provisions. Says Alan: ‘I love having the luxury of shopping by wandering. Seeing the selection at the markets expand from kale and chard into scapes, rhubarb, broad beans and the like never grows old. I love the shellfish from around the sound, Taylor Farms’ Virginica oysters and the Varnish clams that can be found near Hansville.’
Alan Davis: ‘I was very inspired by the locale. Although it is no longer used commercially as a functional farm, the grounds at the Herb Farm are full of botanical reminders of its former bounty. Different fennel varieties, dill, hyssop, rosemary and others still grow wild there.’
‘I’ve also been known to indulge in the local cheeses made around here,’ says Scout Provisions chef Alan Davis. ‘For many this affection boarders on substance abuse, I may be in that rank. Port Madison, Mt. Townsend, Kurtwood Farms, and the little jewels from Monteillet Fromagerie near Waitsburg are all cheese makers who’s wares border on the narcotic’.
Here’s Erin Skipley putting some finishing touches on our gorgeous model, who wears a Luly Yang knee-length gown in the perfect shade of wheat.
Jodi Davis had a whole armload of quilts to choose from for the photobooth set-up. Most were her grandmothers, as was the taxidermy bird that our ‘groom’ posed with. The image is in the spread.
