Alright friends, so the award for the cutest bride goes to bride Emily from today’s real wedding captured by film photographer, Michelle Boyd. This beach wedding takes place in Tulum, Mexico and not only is the location insanely gorgeous (I mean, who doesn’t dream of beach romance every now and then), but talk about some serious bridal fashion. The bridal robe, the jewelry, the hair and make-up, they’re sure to inspire any future bride, but the customgown from Enzoani is so unique and beautiful and something that I’m particularly excited to share.
As the weather these days gets dreary, it’s always nice to see a styled shoot full of color and liveliness. This shoot taken place in Mexico shot by Sarah Kate and her fiancé Joshua Aull has enough color and beauty to brighten up my dreary days for awhile. I adore the textures - from the bride’s beautiful dress, to the full and lively florals, to the table cloth and decor. I love how the decor items were authentic and most of them sourced from locals or markets. Swoon away, my friends, this is one for the books.
Hi all! We’re continuing the week with the beach theme with today’s real wedding in Tulum! I’m a huge fan of Nadia Hung’s work, so I’m excited to showcase this wedding she shot of this gorgeous couple. This wedding is so full of love and is such a wonderful representation of what a wedding is all about! And, of course, the gorgeous scenery and Sarah’s gown(s) give us even more to swoon over.
From the bride…Choosing to get married in Tulum was an easy decision, I spent my holidays there growing up and vacationed with Ryan one summer. When you get married in another country, it’s hard to have control over all the details and I had a vision of what I wanted our day to look like so I brought a suitcase of some pieces that I had collected in the year leading up to the wedding. The vintage Moroccan Wedding Blanket (Handira) was draped over our signing table, and then used in our photographs. It’s now hanging on the wall in our bedroom. I love history and when I read about the tradition of the Handira, and how the brides family would make it in anticipation of the wedding, I knew it was something special. We kept the decor neutral so the beauty of the ocean, sky, and tropical plants would shine through.
Having our son be part of the ceremony was incredible, we let him do his own thing, but looking over and seeing him playing with the palms in the breeze was one of those moments you always want to remember. We are so grateful for the family and friends who made the trip down south, it was such a sweet gift! If I had to describe the vibe of our wedding, it would be very personal and simple. My sister is a singer and sang one of her originals for our first dance, both my dad and step dad walked me down the aisle, and the seating was open for the ceremony.
Nadia photographed my pregnancy and our engagement so having her with us in Tulum to shoot our wedding was so special. We’ve grown to love her as not only a photographer but also as a friend. She is the only photographer I know who can capture a moment completely, the emotion, the movement, it’s all there in a single photograph.
