Let me introduce you to Erika, the owner of Honey Bee Mobile Beverage and Soda Bar. She is an on-location beverage caterer for special events and parties. Erika has a sparkling personality and can craft a mean cocktail or mocktail!
“Excited” is not a strong enough word to describe how I felt when she reached out to me for a branding shoot. I absolutely love branded sessions that feature gorgeous cocktails and highlight the artistry behind creating them.
Erika had three different drinks she wanted to showcase for this shoot. The first was her highly loved Smoked Old Fashioned. For these images, I used a Black Pro-Mist filter to add a soft glow, along with a 4-star filter to create extra sparkle and dimension.
Another featured drink included custom ice cubes paired with sparkling wine — and they were pure art. Each cube was unique, featuring dried fruit, dried flowers, and glitter. When pouring the wine, it started splashing everywhere… and honestly, we just went with it! If you look closely at the bottoms of the glasses, you’ll notice the gorgeous reflections that were created in the moment.
The final drink we featured was more of a drink experience — Erika’s Bloody Mary Bar. Erika starts by crafting your Bloody Mary with your choice of vodka, gin, or tequila, and then the real fun begins… choosing your garnishes!
Erika loves the tiny grater for fresh horseradish and the adorable mini Tabasco bottles. Personally, I loved the tin of sardines — such a fun and unique touch!
Thank you again to Erika for giving me the opportunity to capture you in your element. It was such a fun and creative shoot!
