To unleash the free spirit in all of us, today I’m sharing some gorgeous images captured by Kayla Barker. Call it wedding inspiration for the gypsy bride, or simply gorgeous portraits and details - this is a feature for fashionistas and wedding junkies alike. I am swooning over these images and basically, I want to be the woman in these photographs.

Ever since I featured Elizabeth Dye’s “Halo” gown in this feature in the beginning of the year, I’ve been such a fan of her gorgeous creations. So, of course, I’m happy to share these images from Donny Zavala that show off several of Elizabeth’s gowns. They are all captured so whimsically by Donny in the beautiful state of Oregon along the Columbia River Gorge. As a bit of a nature nut, I’m loving the location which feels so raw and natural, as does the gorgeous make-up and hair by Cassandra Kennedy.

There’s something undoubtedly romantic about France, especially the gorgeous region of Provence, which I have yet to visit, but is definitely on my list. Combine the beautiful location and venue of today’s setting with several talented stylists who seem to understand organic, romantic styling just perfectly all captured by Greg Finck - well we’ve got ourselves a styled shoot that is sure to make it on our favorites list. Every detail is carefully curated, making me want to pin and re-pin all the uniqueness, like the styled staircase, table setting with delicate greens, and floral details of the boutonniere and lush, classic white and green bouquet.

Today’s feature from Colorado-based film photographer Connie Whitlock is chockfull of wonderful wedding details. Taken at the Lemonade and Lenses workshop in a beautiful castle estate, this elegant outdoor summer wedding inspiration features simple decor with subtle pops of red and romantic lace details. This styled shoot also has some fabulous inspiration for ceremony decor - and I love that it’s included since oftentimes, the ceremony details don’t play a role in styled shoots. Overall, there is just something so sweet and simple about this styled shoot and it has just the right about of rustic-elegance.

I’ve featured a few sets of images from Erich McVey’s workshop in Elk, California, seen here as Alate and Nubivagant. For this workshop, renowned stylist Ginny Au used ancient words for the inspiration of the shoots. I’m always inspired by Ginny’s ability to create natural wedding inspiration and today’s images captured by the talented Jen Wojcik are mesmerizing. They are soaked in gorgeous lighting that plays beautifully with the free-flowing Houghton NYC gown. I just love the simplicity and emphasis on the natural beauty with lush florals by Sarah Winward.
