Who doesn’t love a good summer project? As we are gearing up for our new paper goods, debuting in the next few months, we were honored to shoot and style with Caroline and Clark Brewer, our featured couple from last week’s “In Good Co.” This has been an exciting time for EOH as we take on new interns and allow their gifts to be cultivated and grow under Emily’s creative wing. In the past few weeks, Emily’s interns have been tagging along on shoots, creating amazing signage, and crafting new varieties of paper goods. We wanted to showcase more of C & C’s talent along with some behind the scenes shots of what to expect in the next few weeks.
EOH loves to partner with passionate and creative minds, who go full force into their calling. We are thankful to have the amazingly talented and passionate, Clark and Caroline, walk alongside us as we explore new forms of neutrals, calligraphy, and clean aesthetic. We think they were the perfect fit to showcase our product.
Similarly, our in-house photographer/intern, Madding McFadden, works to display eye-opening and crisp images to convey the clean, welcoming atmosphere of EOH’s paper goods. While Madding snaps away, our blogger/intern, Paige Woods, works to illustrate and portray other creatives’ stories, while also inviting you to be a part of EOH’s grand journey. This first shoot was such an inspiration to Paige and Madding, and they are so thrilled to come alongside this summer.
Team EOH had a great time over at Clark and Caroline’s abode, and we cannot wait to reveal our new product as well as our intern team. This is only a glimpse at what we are doing this summer. We appreciate your support and interest as we move forward here at EOH. We think our 2015 summer is going to a blast, and we are thankful you all are along for the ride!

We have the privilege of getting to walk alongside some inspiring, growing, and dynamic creatives as we navigate the small biz world as creators ourselves. In our blog column, In Good Co., we want to feature some of these artists and share a little of the story behind their craft, how they create their work, and what makes them tick as a artist.
We recently had the opportunity to partner with an amazingly talented stylist and photographer couple from Nashville, TN—Clark and Caroline Brewer. You may recognize this tag team as being individually talented as well as complimentary in their artistry. In preparation for our new line of paper products, we were thrilled to spend the afternoon over at Caroline and Clark’s amazing home (featured on Southern Weddings and Design Sponge). We marveled at their aesthetic as well as listened closely to their inspiring past and future endeavors. The EOH team adored the afternoon with the photographer and stylist, and we cannot wait to share their work. Here is a little more on the gifted duo…
What is your story?
At EOH, we are allowed to be hopeless romantics, and Clark and Caroline Brewer’s love story is no exception. These high school sweethearts, Caroline and Clark, have pursued one another since they first met at a soccer game when he was 18, and she was 15. How adorable is that! Since then, C & C have continued to work hand-in-hand in all that they do. Individually, they have accomplished so much and only intend to refine their craft and love for one another in the future.
What is your craft?
Caroline Brewer, stylist extraordinaire, began her career working as a personal stylist and merchandiser for Anthropologie right here in Nashville. As an aspiring employee and lover of all things Anthro, Caroline decided to move up to New York to work for the company and study the fashion industry. With opportunities to travel abroad to Florence and beyond, Caroline returned to Nashville with a head full of knowledge both about herself and the desire to make all things beautiful.
Clark Brewer began his photography like any other hobby in high school. However, as he began to dive deeper into the creative world, he started to pursue photography by stewarding his gift with the help of a mentor photographer. In his apprenticeship, Clark began to find his own lens and allow his voice to take shape. Today, Clark continues to work on finding his own voice in the photography world as well as working with his wife to create beautiful images.
Where do you find inspiration?
For Caroline, there seems to be a consistent desire to make things beautiful. Although there may be something gloriously gorgeous in a mess, Caroline finds inspiration in commandeering that mess. She is an expert in refining and making all things look shiny and new. Caroline makes her art obtainable, inviting her audience to embrace the mess while also fixing their eyes towards a more put-together product. Caroline’s simple, efficient, and charming styling allow for her to work systematically and messily all at the same time, creating a perfect and obtainable harmony for her client.
For Clark, he continues to investigate past photographers’ work, such as Richard Avedon and Vivian Maier, in order to establish and capture his own voice. His style is currently influenced by his Roloflex film camera, much like these past photographers. In each photo, Clark strives to be vulnerable and convey meaning and truth. He truly believes that each photo contains a story that needs to be told. As he carries his love of people into photography, Clark works mainly in capturing weddings, engagements, his travels, and product around Nashville. He says that these are the stories that continue to inspire him today. Here are some past weddings that Clark has done:
What is your very favorite piece from the EOH paper line?
For both Clark and Caroline, they have worked very hard on styling and photographing some upcoming paper product that we are very excited to premiere in the upcoming weeks. Each of them has expressed their love of this shoot, and we are giddy at the thought of it’s arrival.
Thank you so much Clark and Caroline for having us over to your home for such a lovely day of shooting and chatting. We are so privileged to work with such talented individuals that work to convey beauty and grace through every shot. We HIGHLY recommend them for any event, wedding, party or styled shoot!

We L-O-V-E what this fun-loving couple did for their rehearsal dinner in their college town of Wake Forest…Matt’s parents threw them a lovely formal rehearsal dinner complete with cascading flower arrangements, custom EOH details, and bubbly for toasting! What followed was a more playful, laid back party full of bluegrass, twinkling lights, and signature cocktails. We adored how guests were able to see both sides of the family & couple reflected in two very different styles of parties…all in one delightful evening of celebration!
See how Mark Potter Photography captured the day…
The mother of the groom chose a stately gold foil invitation for the black and gold rehearsal dinner. The family crest crowned the top of this elegant paper for a personal + significant touch. Find more elegant EOH rehearsal dinner paper on our site!
Here, the family crest motif is seen again on these custom cocktail napkins. We adore when clients use their invitations as a springboard for other decor details throughout the event.
Following an absolutely lovely evening of feasting + toasting, guests made their way to a Southern get-together reflective of the groom’s Nashville upbringing. This gathering featured some of the couple’s favorite foods like sliders, fries, ice cream and college themed cocktails. Guests snacked, chatted, and tapped their feet to local bluegrass melodies all night long.
Check out this whimsical invite decked out in their college colors! See more invitations here.
Congratulations to this dear couple, Matt & Susan! And thanks again to the talented Mark Potter Photography for letting us share these special shots.
