PGA TOUR winner Grayson Murray passes away at 30

Change Text Size

Grayson Murray, who won his second PGA TOUR title at this year’s Sony Open in Hawaii, passed away Saturday.

"We were devastated to learn – and are heartbroken to share – that PGA TOUR player Grayson Murray passed away this morning. I am at a loss for words,” PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan said. “The PGA TOUR is a family, and when you lose a member of your family, you are never the same. We mourn Grayson and pray for comfort for his loved ones.

“I reached out to Grayson’s parents to offer our deepest condolences, and during that conversation, they asked that we continue with tournament play,” Commissioner Monahan continued. “They were adamant that Grayson would want us to do so. As difficult as it will be, we want to respect their wishes.”

Grief counselors were made available at the venues for this week’s PGA TOUR and Korn Ferry Tour events. Commissioner Monahan, who traveled from TOUR headquarters in Florida to the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas, said he was "devastated" by the loss.

Grayson's parents, Eric and Terry Murray, said in a statement Sunday that the cause of death was suicide .

"Was Grayson loved? The answer is yes," his parents wrote. "By us, his brother Cameron, his sister Erica, all of his extended family, by his friends, by his fellow players and – it seems – by many of you who are reading this. He was loved and he will be missed."

Murray, 30, was a standout golfer from his youth. He won three consecutive Callaway Junior World Championships (2006-08) and was the top-ranked golfer in his age group. He made his first cut on the Korn Ferry Tour at age 16, becoming the second-youngest player ever to do so. After stints at Wake Forest University, East Carolina University and Arizona State University, he got the break he needed in 2016 when he was given a sponsor exemption into the Korn Ferry Tour event near his hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina. He finished inside the top 10 at that event, the Rex Hospital Open, which qualified him for another start. When he posted another top 10 at the BMW Charity Pro-Am, his professional career took off. He concluded his season with a victory at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship to finish second on the Korn Ferry Tour money list and earn full status on the PGA TOUR for the 2016-17 season. The win came a week before his 23rd birthday.

Murray wasted little time establishing himself on golf’s biggest stage as a rookie. He won the 2017 Barbasol Championship while still just 23 years old. His final-round 68 not only secured a one-shot victory, but also solidified a two-year exemption through the 2019 PGA TOUR season. He finished 66th in the FedExCup and earned nearly $1.5 million.

Grayson struggled for the next few seasons on the PGA TOUR. In 2023, he found his game again on the Korn Ferry Tour; he notched two victories – the Advent Health Championship in Kansas City and the Simmons Bank Open outside of Nashville – to finish fourth on that tour’s points list and earn a spot back onto the PGA TOUR for the following season.

Murray opened the 2024 season with a playoff victory at the Sony Open in Hawaii. He made a clutch up and down on the 72nd hole for a birdie to force a playoff. Then he sank a 40-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole to defeat Byeong Hun An and Keegan Bradley. He reached a career-high 46th in the Official World Golf Ranking after that victory.

Behind the Scenes of 'The Blue Angels' documentary

By: Jessica Young, Special Guest

Director of Photography Jessica Young gives us a first-hand account of creating the film

“From the Cockpit,” it read in the headline when this project was announced in early 2022. The challenge of getting cameras into the cockpit of The Blue Angels F-18’s was already well on my mind throughout pre-production - now given that headline, we had to deliver.

At that time, the anticipation of the theatrical release of “Top Gun: Maverick” was palpable. The trailer was playing on repeat. I reached out to Danny Ming, Lead AC on Maverick and he graciously talked me through the painstaking details it took to capture the multi-cam dynamic action of the actors in flight. I quickly realized however, their same amount of research and development and access to F-18’s was unfortunately, not going to be at our disposal. 

We were going to need to find another way to tell this story.

Our “actors” were the actual pilots doing the actual flying. We couldn’t film the Blue Angels in flight unless it was part of their regular scheduled practice demo or show performance. They would be flying single seat aircraft. We would be getting no direct access to their jets for testing mounts, and we could not ask for a take two.

Producers Boss Greg Wooldridge and Rob Stone had started a conversation with Glen Powell that had led to JJ Abrams and IMAX, and ultimately Amazon Prime. I came along in January 2022. Director Paul Crowder reached out in a phone lengths text message that described the most grand idea I ever heard. A few days later, on a scout in El Centro, CA - that moment when the Blue Angel formation flew right over my head with a power I had never felt before - I was hooked.

Choosing the Sony VENICE camera system was an easy decision. We could explain to the Navy that the cameras would be the same used on Top Gun: Maverick and IMAX was happy with the 6K resolution.

I knew we would need coverage from all sides - ground to air, air to air, attached to the exterior of the jets, and of course, from inside the cockpit.

The good news was that the Top Gun: Maverick aerial team was already on-board!

DP Jessica Young on set with the Sony VENICE

Filming Air to Air

Coming off films Top Gun: Maverick and Devotion, Kevin LaRosa II served as Aerial Coordinator and Helicopter Pilot for the production. He and Aerial Director of Photography Michael FitzMaurice worked closely with the Blues over many months and meetings to achieve the safest procedures for shooting the most dynamic aerial shots of the film. A civilian helicopter was given permission to fly inside the Blue Angel air box for the first time in history. 

The Sony VENICE 2 camera was flown on the helicopter’s Shotover G1 stabilized remote head, great for heavy weight payloads. The VENICE 2 was paired with the Angenieux 24-290mm lens + 1.4 expander.

Also on-board the helicopter was Lance “Bubbs” Benson, a former Blue Angel pilot. He helped navigate the helicopter into the safest positions and maintained communications with the jet pilots. He knew each nuance of the flight demo and had their full trust.

After several successful flights with the team in Pensacola - we decided to take it up a notch - shoot the demo with a Phantom Camera at 1000fps! The science of water vapor against the force of extreme speed is a sight to behold.

The  Cockpit Cameras

After testing all kinds of small gadget cameras and putting the footage up on the IMAX screens, we landed on the Insta360 One RS. Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, the lens was made with Leica and offered the ability to add glass ND filters. Controlling the shutter speed I believe was key in matching the cockpit footage to all the other cinema cameras. The One RS recorded 5.3K 16:9 and we used the camera’s LOG setting. 

Remarkably, we did not need to add the stabilization “flowstate” option, which crops the image. The only friction in-air comes during intense G-Force maneuvers, take-offs and landings. The in-camera vibration that is visible during those moments lends some energy to those actions. We were able to maintain the highest resolution possible and we flew the cameras regularly.

The exchange had to be fool proof. The One RS cameras, 5-6 of them lined up on any given day, standing at attention with heavy duty suction mounts and instructions for which aircraft they would fly in and a suggestion of the camera placement. 

The pilots would exit their morning debrief, check out the cameras to understand the assignment, the units would be handed off to the pilots respective Crew Chief, and then show up into their jet prior to the demo. The pilots were responsible for mounting the cameras into their canopy pre-flight.

We also successfully flew the Insta360 One RS 1-inch 360. The stitched shots allowed for panning around inside the cockpit. This introduced a whole new view and was a great way to achieve a very wide angle inside such a small space.

The Exterior Mounts

For the production, the Navy machined a custom housing for the InstaMax One RS - called the “lookback” or “chin” mount. It lived on the exterior belly of the #1 jet in the formation. We flew it in every city and every flight demo possible. 

After months of hunting we finally tracked down the custom camera housings that flew on the exterior wings of the F-18 in Top Gun: Maverick. We gave the Navy-built housings back over to the Navy, and they were put through the paces of rigorous testing to once again, prove air-worthiness. They replaced every screen and screw, but otherwise all 3 housings were intact.

The housings held the original VENICE’s stripped down to their E-Mount lens mount and SxS media recorders. Custom dual battery mounts crafted by Keslow’s R&D team powered the set-up. Each camera wore a 12mm Voigtlander lens that was deconstructed and custom fit. We could fly 3 of these housings at one time on Navy mounted pylons usually designed to hold weaponry on the F-18 aircraft.

Picking the angle of view was less about seeing these jets in a dogfight as in Maverick, and more about using the chase jet air-to-air similar to how one might plan a car-to-car sequence. 

The chase jet was an actual Blue Angel painted jet piloted by Benson. The camera and lens placement under the wing was fixed, so we talked a great deal about Benson’s field of view and strategy for covering the different Diamond and the Solo manuevers. Finally, the cinema camera was going as fast as the jets go!

For one demo, approved by #1 pilot Captain Brian Kesselring aka “Boss” - a Navy mounted keel mount was attached to his jet and he flew the VENICE pointing back at the formation. 

Many hours of planning to achieve mere seconds of screen time, but again, this story needed to be told from all sides. All the angles edited together create the well-rounded flight sequences seen in the documentary.

Filming from the Ground

Full Frame Angenieux zoom lenses were the work horses of the film, EZ 1 & 2 and the 12:1 zooms Optimo 36-435mm and Optimo 24-290mm + expander. Each with Preston micro force zoom control. Arri Signature primes were used for interviews and some docu-scene work. 

Handheld camera work was utilized “off-base” at Blue Angel team members homes or while filming personal life. Once they set foot “on-base” we used the camera on a gimbal MoVI Pro or Ronin II, or tripod. Gimbal Ops were mainly Josh Park and FitzMaurice.

We traveled with the team to several cities on the tour, Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii, Virginia Beach, Baltimore, and Miramar. The crew spent much time in Pensacola, FL where the Blue Angel team is based, and in El Centro, CA where they train in winter. 

Each city visited required intense mapping and scouting to find the best placements for our multi-camera coverage. Permissions had to be given whether camera crews were with comm cart, at center point, or atop a skyscraper, bell tower or light house.

Any given day there was a myriad of Sony cameras and cinema lenses that needed assignments, and I would delegate the pairing of those tools into the hands of the Operators available. Lead AC, Wade Young and AC Case Norton would pull focus with Arri WCU 4 systems during most flight demos, training exercises and scene work. Director Paul Crowder and Producer Bridget Topp watched with the Teradek 3000 XT wireless video systems feeding our Small HD monitors. Eartec hands-free comms were worn by crew whenever possible.

Sean Stout and Maren Domalski of Sutter Road Pictures and Glen Zipper from Zipper Bros Productions championed the production. Lensea Films in Pensacola provided fantastic crew support. 

The 140+ team members of The Blue Angels squad handled our needs and endless requests with grace. We were privileged to witness a year in their life.

Grayson Murray, Winner of Two PGA Tour Titles, Dies at 30

Murray, who was outspoken about his depression and alcohol abuse, had begun a comeback after several volatile years, winning this year’s Sony Open in Hawaii.

By Emmett Lindner

Grayson Murray, the professional golfer who won two PGA Tour titles and was outspoken about his battles with depression and alcohol, died on Saturday. He was 30.

His death was confirmed in a statement on Saturday by the PGA Tour. He died by suicide, according to a PGA Tour statement that was released on Sunday on behalf of his parents.

“We have spent the last 24 hours trying to come to terms with the fact that our son is gone,” the statement said. “It’s surreal that we not only have to admit it to ourselves, but that we also have to acknowledge it to the world.”

After a successful 40-foot putt to win the Sony Open in Hawaii in January, Murray rose to 46th in the Official World Golf Ranking, a career high. The event marked the height of a comeback run after several volatile years as Murray struggled with his mental health.

In a news conference after winning the Sony Open, Murray said that for a time he would drink during tournament weeks.

“Best thing and worst thing that ever happened to me was winning my rookie year, but also feeling like I was invincible,” he said. “I’m a different man now, and I would not be in this position right now, today, if I didn’t put that drink down eight months ago.”

He added that he had attended rehabilitation for a month. “I hope I can inspire a lot of people going forward that have their own issues,” he said. Murray had failed to gain PGA Tour status for several months last year after a series of off-course events mirrored a decline in his play.

An alcohol-related incident at a hotel bar in Hawaii in 2021 led to his suspension from the PGA Tour. Afterward, he posted to social media.

“Why was I drunk?” he wrote, adding that he was as an “alcoholic that hates everything to do with the PGA Tour life and that’s my scapegoat.”

The golfer Phil Mickelson, who has struggled with a gambling addiction , responded at the time on social media , saying “If I can help in any way I’d be happy to.”

This year, Murray played well enough to qualify for the Masters Tournament and P.G.A. Championship. On Friday, he withdrew from the second round of the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas, citing an illness.

Grayson Murray was born on Oct. 1, 1993, in Raleigh, N.C., according to an ESPN biography. Mr. Murray is survived by his parents, Eric and Terry, and his brother, Cameron, and sister, Erica, according to the statement.

He attended Wake Forest, East Carolina and Arizona State Universities, and at 16 he became the second-youngest player to enter the Korn Ferry Tour, according to the PGA Tour.

He continued to gain prominence, playing in the U.S. Open at the age of 19 and clinching a win at the 2017 Barbasol Championship, sinking a five-foot putt for a one-stroke victory.

After losing his PGA Tour card for the 2023 season, and following an angry outburst directed at Monahan, he seemed to have found his swing again. He won two Korn Ferry Tour tournaments last year, regaining his PGA Tour eligibility, and finished in the top 10 at two events.

Because of an editing error, the headline on an earlier version of this article misstated the winning record of Grayson Murray. He won two PGA Tour titles, not tours.

2024 Sony Open in Hawaii Champion Grayson Murray dies at age 30

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The golf world is mourning the death of PGA Tour pro Grayson Murray.

Multiple outlets including the PGA Tour confirmed that the two-time Tour winner died Saturday morning.

Murray withdrew from the Charles Schwab Cup Challenge on Friday due to an illness.

The parents of Murray said in a statement Sunday morning that Grayson took his own life.

In a statement the family of Grayson Murray said:

“We have spent the last 24 hours trying to come to terms with the fact that our son is gone,” the couple said. “It’s surreal that we not only have to admit it to ourselves, but that we also have to acknowledge it to the world.”

“We have so many questions that have no answers. But one. Was Grayson loved? The answer is yes. By us, his brother Cameron, his sister Erica, all of his extended family, by his friends, by his fellow players and – it seems – by many of you who are reading this. He was loved and he will be missed.”

“We would like to thank the PGA Tour and the entire world of golf for the outpouring of support. Life wasn’t always easy for Grayson, and although he took his own life, we know he rests peacefully now.”

“Please respect our privacy as we work through this incredible tragedy, and please honor Grayson by being kind to one another. If that becomes his legacy, we could ask for nothing else. Thank you.”

Murray most recently won the 2024 Sony Open in Hawaii after sinking a 40 foot putt in a three-way playoff.

Following the match, Murray opened up about his struggles with addiction after turning pro.

In a Statement Sony Open tournament director Ray Stosik says:

“We were devastated and heartbroken to learn that our 2024 Sony Open in Hawaii champion Grayson Murray passed away today. We are grateful and blessed to have witnessed Grayson’s inspiring win and personal testimony of faith at Waialae this past January. He won our tournament and our hearts. We extend our aloha and prayers for God’s grace, peace, and comfort to surround Grayson’s family, loved ones, friends, and the PGA TOUR ohana.”

The PGA Tour extended its condolences to Grayson Murray’s family Saturday:

“We were devastated to learn – and are heartbroken to share – that PGA TOUR player Grayson Murray passed away this morning. I am at a loss for words. The PGA TOUR is a family, and when you lose a member of your family, you are never the same. We mourn Grayson and pray for comfort for his loved ones I reached out to Grayson’s parents to offer our deepest condolences, and during that conversation, they asked that we continue with tournament play. They were adamant that Grayson would want us to do so. As difficult as it will be, we want to respect their wishes. The PGA TOUR has grief counselors available at both tournament sites, as well as virtually for those not in the field. I am en route to Ft. Worth and will share more information when we can.”

Grayson Murray was 30 years old.

Work continued, in August 2023, to fence the affected neighborhoods devastated by the Lahaina Fire.

Two resource centers serving Maui wildfire survivors will remain open through June 30, according to the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency.

HI-EMA said in a news release that the extension, approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, reflects the state’s commitment to providing ongoing support and resources to those affected.

The hours of the centers are as follows:

>> Disaster Recovery Center at Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays through June 30. Closed on Memorial Day.

>> Community Resource Center at Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays through June 30. Closed on Memorial Day.

“Both recovery centers have been cornerstones of our recovery efforts, offering a place where individuals and families can connect with specialists, receive counseling, and gain access to a wide range of services designed to help rebuild and recover,” said HI-EMA State Disaster Recovery Center Coordinator Francis Kau in the release. “We understand that the journey to recovery is ongoing, and our commitment to supporting the survivors of the Maui fires remains unwavering. We encourage you to visit the DRC and the CRC sites to take full advantage of the resources available.”

Two-time PGA Tour winner Grayson Murray died Saturday morning at age 30, one day after he withdrew from the Charles Schwab Cup Challenge at Colonial.

There were no immediate details on the circumstances of his death, only shock and grief from the PGA Tour and his management team.

“I am at a loss for words,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said. “The PGA Tour is a family, and when you lose a member of your family, you are never the same. We mourn Grayson and pray for comfort for his loved ones.”

His management company, GSE Worldwide, confirmed the death and said it was heartbroken.

“We will hold off on commenting until we learn further details, but our heart aches for his family, his friends and all who loved him during this very difficult time,” GSE said in a statement.

Monahan said he spoke with Murray’s parents to offer condolences, and they asked that the tournament in Fort Worth, Texas, continue.

He said grief counselors would be on site at the PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour event in Knoxville, Tennessee. Monahan headed to Texas and later appeared on CBS as the third round was ending.

“To see the devastation on the faces of every player coming in is really difficult to see and really just profound,” Monahan said. “Grayson was a remarkable player, but he was a very courageous man. I’ve always loved that about him.”

Murray, who had dealt with alcohol and mental health issues in the past, made a massive turnaround this year and won the Sony Open , hitting wedge to 3 feet for birdie on the final hole to get into a playoff and winning it with a 40-foot putt.

He also won the Barbasol Championship in 2017.

“It was a huge shock. My heart sank,” said Webb Simpson, who learned of Murray’s death shortly before teeing off at Colonial. He said Murray was the first winner of his junior tournament and they shared the same swing coach as juniors.

“I just hate it so much,” Simpson said. “I’m going to miss him. I’m thankful he was in the place with his faith before this morning happened.”

Murray was No. 58 in the world rankings coming off a tie for 43rd in the PGA Championship last week at Valhalla. He also made the cut in his Masters debut, finishing 51st, and was in the field for the U.S. Open next month at Pinehurst No. 2.

Murray, who grew up in North Carolina, was among the most talented juniors in the country. He won the prestigious Junior World Championship in San Diego three straight years and earned the Arnold Palmer Scholarship at Wake Forest.

He wound up going to three colleges, lastly at Arizona State, and won as a 22-year-old PGA Tour rookie at the Barbasol Championship.

Murray said in January that he had been sober for eight months, was engaged to be married, had become a Christian and felt his best golf was ahead of him. He was appointed to the 16-member Player Advisory Council.

“My story is not finished. I think it’s just beginning,” Murray said in Hawaii. “I hope I can inspire a lot of people going forward that have their own issues.”

Murray said he used to drink during tournament weeks as a rookie because he knew he had talent and felt he was invincible. He also brought attention to himself through social media, openly criticizing other players and getting into one social media spat with Kevin Na over Na’s reputation as a slow player.

But he felt like he turned the corner when he sought help — letting others fight for him, is how he explained it this year.

“It took me a long time to get to this point,” Murray said in January. “That was seven years ago, over seven years ago. I’m a different man now. I would not be in this position right now today if I didn’t put that drink down eight months ago.”

Peter Malnati played with Murray at Colonial. He offered to go on the CBS telecast Saturday afternoon and immediately broke down trying to talk about him.

“It’s a huge loss for all of us on the PGA Tour,” Malnati said. “As much as we want to beat each other, we’re one big family, and we lost one today. It’s terrible.”

This story has been corrected to show that Murray won the Barbasol Championship in 2017, not last year.

Hands up if you’re ready to be dazzled! From a ceremony structure designed to float on water to a jaw-dropping reception room with flowers blooming from every service, we’re swooning over every bit of this wedding. If you can believe it, that’s just the beginning. Julia Kaptelova artfully shot every detail, like the ballet performance guests were treated to and snow falling from the ceiling for the first dance! Prepare to be amazed and take a visit to the full gallery .

From About You Decor … Our design is a symbol of dawn and a distant endless horizon. Ahead is a long, happy life without any borders. An international couple, Pavel and Cherry, met in London and have been walking together for many years.

From the Bride, Cherry… My husband and I we decided to have our summer wedding in Moscow because the city is where his roots are. As we knew we were going to have the other wedding ceremony in China, we wanted our Moscow one to be very personal and intimate. We’ve known each other since we were fourteen, together with many of our friends whom we’ve also known for a decade.

I didn’t want to walk down the aisle twice so the plausibility of my request quickly came into discussion. The open pontoon stage was constructed in order to facilitate the bridal entrance on water, although there were concerns about safety as the last thing we wanted was probably a drowned bride before she could get on stage, picture that! I have to say on that day it wasn’t easy to get on the pontoon stage from the boat, in my long gown and high heels. Luckily my bridesmaids still noticed even though they stood the furthest from me on the stage, and helped me out without prior rehearsal. My girls could just tell whenever I needed a hand or maybe they were just so used to my clumsiness. Who knows 😂

We all love our photographer Julia! She’s so talented and her style is so unique. Our beloved host Alex is exceptional who made everyone laugh and cry. It was truly a blessing to have so many kind and beautiful souls on our big day. Thank you all!

I’m still not convinced this Moscow wedding, captured to perfection by  Sonya Khegay , isn’t actually an inspiration session—it’s just  that breathtaking. From the beautiful Bride’s gorgeous lace wedding dress and flawless hair and makeup to the pretty pastel color palette and stunning ceremony and reception spaces, this wedding is almost too good to be true. Do yourself a favor and see it all in The Vault now!

From Sonya Khegay … It was the last day of April and still very cold in the morning. The weather forecast wasn’t pleasing and no one expected that the sun would come out, but miracles happen and light rain gave way to the warm rays.

I love how all the details went together, you could feel the harmony in everything throughout the entire wedding day from the morning until the fireworks.

A gentle look of the bride, elegant but so airy and unique decor, the fresh and light atmosphere of early spring and, of course, true happiness in the eyes. My heart becomes so warm from these memories, it is always a pleasure to see the birth of a new family of two loving hearts.

You really can’t go wrong with simple: a beautiful Bride , perfectly pretty petals , loved ones all around. But add in an amazing firework show  to cap off the night and simple just became downright extraordinary. Captured by Lena Elisseva , with assistance by  Katya Butenko , this rustic Russian celebration is simply fantastic. See it all in the Vault right here !

From Lena Eliseeva Photo …  This cozy and warm summer wedding of gorgeous Natalia and Anton was in the middle of June. The young couple decided to organize their wedding themselves, and the day was very personal and touching. I am absolutely in love with rustic outdoor weddings, and this one is my favourite because of the free and easy atmosphere.

All the decor excluding the bride’s bouquet was made by a team of ten friends of the bride and groom. And it was charming – a light and beautiful arch, eco-style polygraphy and succulents, candy-bar with caramel apples and berries – sweet joys of summer.

At the end of ceremony the guests tossed up white handkerchiefs embroidered by Natalia’s own hands.

The most touching moment was the happy eyes of the groom’s grandmother, the most estimable person on the wedding. And the fireworks were a bright end to that beautiful day.

These photos from Lena Kozhina are so stunningly beautiful – as in you can’t help but stop and stare – it’s hard to believe it’s real life. But these pics are proof of this gorgeous Bride and her handsome Groom’s celebration at Moscow’s Fox Lodge , surrounded by vibrant colors and breathtaking blooms . Oh, and the idea of prepping for your Big Day outside in the sun ? Brilliant. See more bright ideas right here !

From Lena Kozhina … When we met with the couple for the first time, we immediately paid attention to Dima’s behavior towards Julia. There was a feeling of tenderness and awe, and we immediately wanted to recreate this atmosphere of love, care and warmth on their Big Day.

Later, when we had chosen a green meadow and an uncovered pavilion overlooking a lake as the project site, it only highlighted a light summer mood with colorful florals and a great number of natural woods. The name of the site is Fox Lodge and peach-orange color, as one of the Bride’s favorites, set the tone for the whole design – from the invitations, in which we used images of fox cubs to elements of serving guest tables and other decorative elements with the corresponding bright accents.
