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.

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.

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.

There is something special about being in a place where you’re surrounded by nature and alone with your own thoughts and presence. There’s a certain peace that comes from just soaking up the atmosphere when you are alone. I love that this portrait session focuses on this feeling. It is simply styled with a beautiful periwinkle gown that catches the sea breeze, hair that is down, ready to be wind-blown, and lovely hand-lettered calligraphy. This Montenegro shoot from Anastasia Bryukhnova will have you wanting to escape to the seaside…and wait until you see the last image.

I love nothing more than receiving a submission of a shoot taking place in a breathtaking location. This portrait session, taken by Justine Milton takes place during her stopover in Iceland. Iceland is a beautiful place, to which I have never been, but that is most definitely on my list. What I love most about this shoot? It’s simplicity. Sometimes you just don’t need flowers, decor or accessories. The couple’s beauty and the landscape are enough, more than enough, to create something that feels close to earth, something that will be truly timeless.
