Rich, sensual, moody, and mysterious – are just some of the many terms that come to mind when experiencing this gorgeous Spanish-Gothic-styled shoot.

“This project took an army of amazing women who run small businesses,” Hana Alsoudi of Hana Alsoudi Photography shared. “They turned this vision of mine into a perfect reality. From the black candles to the beautiful wall arrangement of leaves…it was everything I could have imagined!”

Hana’s vision: “Originally when we were coming up with a style, I wanted to steer clear of the usual bright-colored bridals. I wanted to play up the beautiful venue that was renovated from an old cathedral, the mid-century hanging chandeliers, the white walls, and the tall windows. Even down to the invites, I wanted to give them a more goth-inspired font. Now I’m hoping more brides play up dark and moody tones!”
