Hi all! I love engagement shoots for a few reasons. The main reason I love them is because the couple can enjoy some fun time together behind the camera lens. Couple portraits can capture your love so wonderfully and allow you to go back and remember that special one-on-one time together. I just love them! Here’s a wonderful set of engagement shots from Alyssa Nikole with styling by Elke Saenz.

From the stylist…It was important to me to highlight Dani & Vlad’s natural colorings and tones. The palette for this winter-centered shoot was overall cools and neutrals with slight but significant pops of color for each look. To play to the more fashion-forward and youthful vibe of the theme, I liked the idea of having full outfits of different variations of one color. As well, these looks are all about the accessories; layers upon layers of clothing and jewelry helped heighten the chic twist on the classic looks. The shoot pushed the envelope of classic engagements by creating a risqué and freeing spin on an elegant couple.

Hello lovely readers. I have a really beautiful California engagement session to show you all today. This one was shot by Meghan Mehan with florals from Ellen Kyle. I don’t know if you know this about me, but I am a bit obsessed with floral crowns and this one that Addie’s wearing is nothing but pin-worthy. This engagement has such an organic and natural feel to it and Addie and Anton are so lovely together.

From the photographer…Our inspiration for this session was inspired by the natural California beauty in the Marin Headlands, located just north of San Francisco. We focused on the classic, intimate beauty between our couple, Addie and Anton, as well as that of our surroundings to create a session focused on the interaction of the couple in the vast beauty of nature. Ellen Kyle of Found & Created made a beautiful crown of locally grown flowers to add a subtle and romantic detail to the session.

Hello friends. I hope you’re all having a fabulous week. I’m very excited to share with you all a wonderful styled shoot from photographer Lauren Kinsey. I’m a big fan of Lauren’s work, and I think you’ll know why when you see this set of photos. This shoot, styled by the folks at Myrtie Blue, is totally captivating and has such unique inspiration behind it. Take a look and enjoy!

This shoot was inspired by Urania’s Mirror, a set of astronomical star charts that date back to the 1800s. In Greek mythology, Urania is the muse of astronomy. She is often associated with Universal Love. In some accounts, she is the mother of Linus the musician.

Hello dear friends. I have some soft, dreamy photos to share with you today, brought to us by Heather Payne. This ethereal hillside wedding inspiration shoot, a project by Team Flower, has got some seriously gorgeous bridal portraits. Pair them with fresh florals and elegant wedding details, and we’ve got ourselves a whole bunch of pretty.

From Kelly of Team Flower…In ancient Hebrew culture when a bride and groom were engaged, there was a time of separation, of waiting. Rather than planning every detail of their wedding day together, the groom needed to leave his bride at her home and go to his father’s house to build a room for he and his bride to live in when they married. She never knew exactly when her groom would return, but she trusted him and waited. This trust brought peace and rest to her mind. In that time she prepared herself for his arrival, fully confident he would return at just the right time.

I began imagining this bride patiently preparing for her groom against the ethereal backdrop of the mountains — running through the hillsides in her flowy, heirloom gown to see if that was him coming around the bend. She gracefully gathers freshly cut flowers, the perfume of each one making her sweeter. Every night she keeps her lamp burning — anticipating his return. And while she waits her love and longing for him grows stronger producing a rich charm and elegance in her eye, one that only comes through waiting.

Now friends, I don’t like to pick favorites, but boy, this styled shoot is one that I could look at all day long. Whimsical is just one word to describe it. I could also use divine, dreamy, romantic, alluring…pick whichever one you want. But this styled shoot from Debry Eby is to-die-for-gorgeous. Let’s have a look at the photos.

Ocean Bliss Inspiration: Bride

From the photographer…Inspiration for this shoot is drawn from the alluring beauty of the coast. Our team of artists designed with an intentional seaglass palette. Gilded accents compliment the hues of blue.

The setting is the sea. A background of gentle waves caressing the shoreline set against a watercolor sky. The ocean has a way of beckoning romance…

…For the closing scene, I had this vision of romantic exploration. As the sun begins dipping over the horizon, our couple steps into the water. Here, they lift white lanterns lighting the dimming seascape.
