This time I present to you an idea for an outdoor winter Christmas party with friends. Frost in a snowy forest, hot, steaming, grille dishes, romantic light bulbs and a stylish car with a tent on the roof. Fancy joining in?😊
In fact, I just wanted to make another photo shoot with a treehouse. But then my eyes were caught by a “Mini Cooper” with a tent on it’s roof. Equally romantic but far more comfortable. Furthermore, with the car you can drive wherever you want. This is how a new inspiring winter photoshoot vision was born.
Winter comfort dishes were grilled outdoors by Svetlana Vaganova, the Chef of the restaurant “Habbit” and the founder of the coffee shop “Atostogos”. You can try to make these delicious flavourful dishes on Christmas or bridging days – your friends and family members will be surprised.
I admit, this photoshoot was one of the hardest to create during this project of mine. First of all, because it was very cold and time wasn’t my ally as, although I had a plan to shoot the shots at dusk, in the end, I was working in the dark – it got dark much faster than I expected. But once again I could realise a small dream in the middle of the forests with lots of stylish things, accessories and tasty food. 😊 I truly hope it will inspire you to spend the time with your friends in a different, unusual way 😊
Enjoy the pictures and the Christmas spirit!
