The Stolen Child - Styling Pilgrimage From Pearl & Godiva

P h o t o s b y A s h l e y L u d a e s c h e r

Hello dear friends. Let me first preface this feature with the fact that I’m a huge fan of Pearl & Godiva (also known for their gorgeous, all-film wedding blog, Wedding Sparrow) and the talented photographer Erich McVey. They teamed up with several amazing vendors for Pearl & Godiva’s Beauteous Workshop in Ireland last October. Let’s take a closer look at these gorgeous photographs taken during the workshop by Ashley Ludaescher.

Inspiration for this shoot comes from the poem The Stolen Child by Irish poet, William Butler Yeats…

“Come away o human child!

To the waters and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand.

For the world more full of weeping than you can understand.”

I love how natural and organic this shoot feels. And talk about a stunning location. Ireland is such a magical place and everything in this set of photos is oozing with whimsey. Thanks to Ashley for the lovely photos and to the rest of the team who put together this amazing styled shoot.
