Wild West Wedding Inspiration

P h o t o s b y R e b e c c a H o l l i s

One thing that really pops out in these Wild West images from Rebecca Hollis is the horses. Anytime you see animals mixed in with a styled shoot, they’re going to make you intrigued. I featured some Grecian wedding inspiration several months ago which had a donkey in the shoot. I love when I see animals included in shoots because the animals are so specific to certain cultures. These horses are a perfect fit for this wild west wedding inspiration and including them makes the vision come to life even more. To me, this shoot doesn’t just represent a style, but rather represents a culture with traditions as well.

From Darci of Beargrass Gardens…The general idea for this shoot was to embrace the true and historic heritage of the entire Western and Southwestern US, yet combine the look and feel of a stylish, chic Bride. I kept saying to Rebecca as we were developing the idea, “Ralph Lauren Bride.”

This photo shoot took place on an actual working ranch in the Bitterroot Valley, Montana. We also wanted a model with short hair…something different and inspiring for all the young future Brides. Short hair can be very beautiful and ethereal, even romantic. I believe these images prove just that.

With each styled shoot Rebecca and I collaborate on we always hope to inspire future Brides and all the other creatives in our industry. Always looking to have fun with an idea and for something different, yet relative.
