Inspiration…

“The inspiration for this styled shoot derived from couples that love to travel the world together. Small hints of a travel themed wedding were highlighted with the signage, lounge cocktail area, and menu cards.”

The venue…

The ceremony…

“The layout of the ceremony site gave the shoot an unique edge. We wanted to highlight the uncanny design layout and aesthetics of the venue with large beautiful bold florals that consisted of hues of purple, greenery, and hints of soft pink. The live oak trees sat on acres of land and the models were captured in front of the oldest live oak for the ceremony.”

The reception…

“The reception took place underneath a beautiful gazebo with three black simple, yet breathtaking chandeliers. Lilac velvety linen along with purple satin napkins added additional character to the tables. Gold flatware complimented the gold trimmed serpentine table and 42 inch crystal candelabras. This small detail brought the entire design together and created the perfect southern styled shoot. “
