West Side Story is a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet, set in the 1950s New York City, where the forbidden love between Tony and Maria unfolds. Drawing from the iconic Broadway musical’s vibrant energy, star-crossed love, and vintage charm, this styled shoot is a modern reimagining of Tony and Maria’s world with bold colors, dramatic florals and hopeless romance. Which is why I am excited to give you our second feature in the Broadway Musical Styled Shoot Series!
Emerald Stone Photography and a team of extremely talented Central Pennsylvania wedding vendors transformed the Hilton Harrisburg to produce a series of styled shoots inspired by timeless hit Broadway musicals and the Pantone Color of the Year 2024 – Peach Fuzz. There are a total of three styled shoots in our Broadway Musical Styled Shoot Series, beginning with Mamma Mia! Trust me, you will want to see them all.

Wedding Planner and Designer, Susan Moran of That’s It Wedding Concepts (@thatsitweddingconcepts) executes her vision beautifully with this styled shoot.


The simplicity of the invitations and signage provided by Persnickety Invitation Studio (@persnicketyinc) add subtle, yet personal detail to the tablespaces.





This three-tiered wedding cake by Sweet Confections Cakes (@sweetconfectionscakes) represents the Broadway hit sensation by incorporating all the elements of color and culture.




The tablescape yields different hues, from orange to blue to green. The copper mugs and charger plates add a nice finishing touch to bring it all together.

It’s hard to miss the vibrant orange flowers that adorn the Jeffrey’s Flowers (@jeffreys_flowers) floral arrangements decorating the tables and complimenting the bride and groom.

The bride wore her curls in a relaxed, braided half up half down hairstyle. Her bold red lipstick perfectly matched the groom’s jacket. Chantell Zimmerman (@illuminating_.styles) was the artist behind all the bridal glam.
