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.

Halloween Wedding Inspiration

Just one portrait of this styled shoot was all I needed to see to know that it was something I wanted to feature. You know that there’s talent behind a lens when all you need is one photo. This Halloween wedding inspiration from Ashley Rae is one that I’ll be swooning over for a while. Not only is every detail perfectly gothic for Halloween, like the bride in all black, right down to her veil and dark make-up and the beautifully shriveled and dead looking bouquet, but the grain in some of these photos. The grain just seems to enhance how gorgeously shivering these images are, and I love it.

Today’s romantic southern wedding inspiration, photographed by Koby Brown of Archetype Photography takes place at the beautiful Cheekwood in Nashville, Tennessee. The muted color palette feels so soft and romantic, perfectly complimenting the romantic scenery and venue. But the star of this shoot is the gorgeous and unique hi-lo wedding gown by Giles. The gown is made with a lovely white leather bodice and marbleized blues in the skirting - I love how it’s elegant, but high-fashion with a bit of an edge, and how exquisite does it look on the beautiful red-headed model?

Some of my favorite images I’ve had the pleasure of featuring come from the workshops hosted by talented, renowned fine art photographers. These images by Morgan Gosch are no exception. At Jen Huang’s “The Artist Holiday” workshop, Morgan captured this almost bare-detailed shoot by the seaside, with only the couple, their pin-worthy attire, and gorgeous, equally as pin-worthy florals by Poppies & Posies that give it all a color pop. Oh, and keep your eyes peeled for the image of the bride’s braid by Chiali Meng - what wonderful wedding hair inspiration.

Greek Mythology Wedding Inspiration

From the eerie, yet beautiful location, to the bouquet and bride’s gown, today’s details are all wonderfully pin-worthy. But what makes these images even more intriguing is the story behind them. Today’s inspiration comes from Elena Pavlova and tells the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. A tragic love story of two characters who are separated by uninevitable death. They have the chance to be together again when Orpheus convinces Hades to let his beloved wife return to earth. They are reunited for only a brief period before Eurydice is, again, taken away and the lovers loose each other for eternity.
