Happy July, my friends! I cannot believe June has already come and gone and summer is here! Today I am sharing a very unique and beautiful styled shoot from Olga Siyanko and Ludmila Fateeva. This shoot was a pre-wedding affair for the couple and the photographer as a way to get inspiration and rehearse for the big day.

Having grown up in the thick of the woods, I now admire it whenever I see couples choose the forest for a location as a part of their love story. Today I’m sharing with you some gorgeous film images from Atlanta photographer, Noi Tran, someone on whom I’ve been keeping my eye in the fine art world. This shoot takes place in Atlanta and these woods are even more stunning when full of this couple’s love.
From the photographer…This beautiful ethereal woodland engagement session is nothing short of romantic! When Jessica told me she loved nature and trees, I knew I had to share Lullwater Park with her. Lullwater Preserve actually lies in the heart of the Emory Campus and is one of Atlanta’s hidden gem. Jessica and Joseph was in their own little oasis strolling through the tall trees that framed the long curvy path of this park. We shot at almost every corner and soaked up the natural beauty the place offered. I had a blast getting to know Jessica and Joseph a little more during the session. These two lovebirds met through Joseph’s sister. Immediately upon their first meeting Joseph took an interest and they’ve been together since.

Today I have a very chic and artistic styled shoot to share with you. We are headed into some lovely gardens in Ontario, Canada and stepping into an artist’s dream of beautiful landscapes and fresh florals. And anyone who loves vintage details will love the unique and colorful china used for the place settings. Do read the stylist’s description of the shoot, as it truly is a noteworthy concept.
From the designer, Phoebe Lo Events…Brushed behind the rolling pastures and concealed by cast iron gates lies a secret little garden known as Pathways to Perennials. The luscious estate was carefully crafted by a pair of gardeners that dedicated the landscapes to their newborn child. Developed over the course of a decade, the gardeners envisioned that Pathways to Perennials would be the grounds to which their daughter and her loved one would lovingly cast the oath of marriage upon each other. The meandering pathways signify the course of a lifetime’s journey, and one would find the hidden treasures among this delicate route, whether it be a bunch of French garden roses or a gazebo with welcoming breezes and a seat for two.
This styled wedding photoshoot plays with a classic European motif that is subtly captured through the accents of landscape painting and watercolours. The concept of romance is drawn upon the unity of these key elements and positioned upon the lush backdrop that embodies the perfect solution of vintage and elegance. The colour palette of this photo shoot features the sweet hues of mint green that is juxtaposed by pale peach, and lightly tinted by plush gold details. The bride dons a floor length Alfred Sung gown crafted with French lace and crystal beading. The sweetheart table setting showcases an arrangement of century old Queen Anne porcelain dinnerware paired with Cellini Romanesque golden cutlery.

I recently featured one of my all-time favorite set of images of a styled shoot in the Great Sand Dunes by Katie Grant, so naturally, I’m excited to share another one of her amazing shoots. I love the ocean and some of my favorite wedding inspiration comes from organic shoots inspired by the natural elements of water. This one includes a fantastic shelled crown and a quaint and very pin-worthy sweetheart table.
From the photographer…We drew inspiration from the natural, rocky coastline and built the shoot around the natural palette of the shore. The sweetheart table is nestled into the large rock formations where waves crash underneath, creating a beautiful symphony. The table is adorned with light sea blues and sandy golds and the plates are set with each person’s name calligraphed on a translucent capiz shell. The focal point of this shoot is the bride’s jaw-dropping and gorgeous seashell crown, a fresh and inspiring take on the bohemian floral crown.

Hello friends. I’m happy to share another gorgeous styled shoot from JoPhoto, whose beautiful work has been featured before on the blog here. I love duo’s style and how they manage to capture things so magically. Today we’re headed to the Deep South for a styled shoot with soft spring elegance, from pink hues to golden accents.
From the photographer…Spring is gorgeous in East Tennessee, and it offered the perfect backdrop for this elegant, outdoor spring inspiration shoot! The focus of this shoot was to incorporate simple elegance with glamorous details. The tablscape was full of gold and blush pink accents, while the couple photos were simple and natural with a romantic and fresh feel. We allowed the Tennessee spring blossoms to provide the beauty for the bride and groom photos. By keeping the couple’s fashion very simple, their intimate poses and the spring backdrop did all the work of creating the romantic feel we desired. Unlike the couple photos, the tablescape was designed to be over-the-top and packed full of glamorous details. Every glass was filled, and every plate had it’s own handmade place card and menu. The depression glass trays were packed full of fruit, cheese, and pastries, and the candy table was filled with spring desserts and goodies. After the sun set, the tablescape took on a whole new look. Every detail glistened by candlelight, which was the perfect ending to this romantic southern shoot!
