I’m thrilled to have this stunning styled shoot from Katie Grant on the blog today. It’s one of those that I can’t wait to share because its beautiful details are so emotive. I also love Katie’s work so it’s an honor to showcase this feature as her first on Belles & Bubbles. I’ll let her speak for the feature as her words capture it all perfectly.

From the photographer…The sharp edges of the windblown dunes call for attention, for action. They call for bare feet tracing their spines and ache for romance atop their peaks. Here, in the stillness of the dunes, is where our perfect elopement transpires. Amethyst geodes set the luscious palette of this intimate affair. They can be seen dancing on the ribbon of the bouquet, skirting the edges of the richly painted cake, and alongside the divine, hand-lettered elopement announcement suite. A table for four was loosely set to accommodate our bride, groom, and their two witnesses. Florals spill out of the antique brass centerpiece as lovely hand written menus announce the feast.Let us not forget our couple; silhouetted by the sinking sun and bathed in golden light as they commit themselves to each other. Our bride’s Houghton NYC gown perfectly catches the night breeze and the sun sings it’s praises as it shines through the gauzy fabric. It is truly a sight for the groom to behold and to forever cherish. This is indeed a night to remember in the Great Sand Dunes.

These images just stun me - the lighting is incredible and it’s work like this that is the reason I love film photography so much. And how about those details? I’m such a fan of all the styling, from the gorgeous gown to the color palette and the uber pin-worthy tablescape. Thanks so much to Katie for the images and stay tuned for some more of her gorgeous work on the blog soon!

Today I’m sharing an engagement session that took place in Bok Tower Gardens, consisting of an ornate neo-Gothic art deco singing tower surrounded by lush, romantic gardens. It’s a beautiful setting for an engagement shoot that’s gorgeously captured on film by Emily Katharine. The light quality in this shoot is fantastic, and so is this bride-to-be’s ring!

From the photographer…For their engagement session, we visited Bok Tower Gardens. We watched the sun rise as we drove to the garden and we all enjoyed watching the fog roll out of the hills in the morning. It was a gorgeous day – the weather had just turned and it was actually a little cool. Once we arrived, we explored every nook of the beautiful garden. Of course, Kimberly and Andres were fantastic models and they look great on film, if I do say so myself.

Happy Monday, everyone. I’ve got a unique villa elopement to share with you taking place in Houston, captured by Jenna McElory. Originally, the couple was going to have a larger wedding, but during their planning process, they decided to mix them altogether and elope in a beautiful chapel with only their intimate families. Details to adore: the bride’s gorgeous diamond ring (actually, her dress…and veil too!), the groom’s dapper and classy suit, and the lovely interior of the Lanier Theological Chapel.

From the photographer…Katie and Anti remind me of everything I love about marriage - family, love, and excitement. When Katie first contacted me, she spun visions of an intimate dinner party in December with her dearest friends and family. I could hear the joy in her voice, instantly knowing a magical day was in store. But God had different plans, and it wasn’t more than a few weeks before Katie and Anti were walking down the aisle on a day they couldn’t have dreamed.

Katie’s classic plans soon became an even more exclusive affair - an elopement - to be shared only with their immediate family. The bride and groom surrounded themselves with everything dear to them on a beautiful Sunday evening in the majestic Lanier Theological Chapel in Houston. I found these two giddy with excitement and love. They read personal letters before the ceremony and spoke tearful vows under beautiful hand painted art. It was a day filled with the most beautiful things in this life - family, love, and excitement.

There’s a lot of beach wedding inspiration out there, but this shoot from JoPhoto has a few unique and noteworthy details that make it truly something special. Sunrises, for one, are an incredible time of day for a beach shoot, which is when this shoot took place on the gorgeous Isle of Palms. You’ll also need to get your pin-fingers ready for the stunning bridal jumpsuit and big, textured bouquet as well.

From the photographer…This is a sunrise bridal jumpsuit shoot that took place on the beach at Isle of Palms, just outside of Charleston. The oyster candles were made by the bride’s mother, and the bridal jumpsuit was designed by Hawaii-based Joelle Perry. Joelle said the jumpsuit design was inspired by her mother, and the fabric included velveteen roses that gradually increased in number toward the bottom of the pant. This Isle of Palms beach wedding inspiration shoot also included starfish and a basket full of seashells.

New York City is one of my favorite cities, and Ed from Zorz Studios has such unique imagery. So, pair the two with a couple who has serious style and we have a bunch of glamorous wedding inspiration. This wedding has an urban, industrial feel with elegant touches, such as the bride’s laced wedding gown, romantic lighting, and gorgeous white and green florals… all combined together to represent how amazing city weddings can be.

From the photographer…The bride got ready at the beautiful Wythe Hotel with amazing floor-to-ceiling windows of the Manhattan skyline, and an interior staircase leading to a private terrace. Surrounded by the toile wallpaper, and beautiful exposed beams, she was in love with the space and felt completely calm and at ease getting ready with her beautiful bridesmaids.

For the ceremony, Heather wore a gorgeous lace mermaid gown which she found at The Bridal Garden, a not-for-profit bridal boutique in New York City in which all proceeds benefit education for disadvantaged children.

The couple fell in love with The Green Building for its effortlessly beautiful interior and the vintage flair. The Green Building was previously a brass foundry and has beautiful original brick walls, exposed beam ceilings, gold chandeliers, and even a back speakeasy room equipped with vintage decor and red velvet curtains. Their vendors helped create a warm and intimate setting.
