Do you all remember the element inspired wedding shoot from Erich McVey’s workshop in Bend, Oregon? Well, three of the elements were featured back in January and today I’m sharing with you one of my favorite element pieces from that workshop, the fire bride. These gorgeous photographs were taken by the talented Matoli Keely whose work you’ll be sure to see again on the blog.
Styled by Ginny Au, this bride represents the element of fire. She wears a gorgeous, black silk gown made by Rubicon with hair and make-up by Amy Clarke. Florals in shades of pinks and yellows make up the lovely bouquet by Ashley Beyer.
Of course, anything styled by Ginny Au is going to be fabulous, but I particularly love the silk Rubicon gown! I love the bold and fierce color of black balanced with the elegance of silk. And of course, everything is captured so wonderfully by Matoli - thanks so much to the whole team for working on this shoot!
