I’m very excited to share with you, not one, not two, but three gorgeous styled shoots from the Erich McVey Workshop in Bend, Oregon. These shoots were inspired by the elements and were styled by Ginny Au and shot by Anna Peters. Everything from the florals, the attire, to the details are simply stunning. Take a look and enjoy the beauty.
Wind
From the photographer…This couple was inspired by wind. Known for it’s quiet but powerful properties, the wind couple is ethereal and pure; the shoot is filled with soft light blues and whites. As the sun set at Smith Rock state park the wind picked up and created the stunning movement in our model’s Rubicon dress.
Water
From the photographer…This bride represents water. The incredible details of this shoot come together to create the portrait of a soft, mysterious sylph-like bride, from the delicate flowers strung throughout her hair to the gorgeous yards of Frou Frou Chic ribbon. Set against the stunning backdrop of Oregon’s Smith Rock State Park, the magic feel of this shoot will stay with me for a long time.
Earth
From the photographer…This couple represents earth. Filled with neutral tones and subtle details, this shoot felt grounded and calm. It fit perfectly into the rocky, rustic Oregon landscape.
Wow. I absolutely loved putting these images together for this feature. So many talented vendors were involved in this project. Thanks so much to Anna for providing us with the images and to the rest of the team. If you liked Anna’s work, be sure to check out one of her real weddings on Belles & Bubbles, which can be seen here.
