styled shoot

Unlike many wedding blogs, we don’t run a ton of styled shoots — photo shoots that use models instead of real couples — for reasons addressed here. That said, once a month or so, we see a shoot that’s so full of gorgeousness and lovely ideas that we feel compelled to share it. If you’re a photographer who would like to submit your styled shoot, click here.

“Sweet you rock & sweet you roll” at this sweets inspired wedding inspiration

This gorgeous couple was celebrating their 15-year wedding anniversary and hadn’t had a wedding photographer at their own wedding all those years ago. It was time to remedy that with this music and sweets inspired wedding inspiration featuring custom drinks, a cute sweetheart table, and a seriously awesome and elaborate ice cream cart(!) and cake table.

Elegance overflows at this misty Halloween ballet wedding inspiration

This Halloween-themed spooky inspiration shoot was set in Payson, Arizona, where a fire had burned down the forest. Set in-between the trees, they staged a romantic Halloween ballet. There were horses (in skeleton costume!), a perfectly creepy and moody tablescape, mist in the trees, a tall and elegant black wedding cake, a stunning black tulle dress, and pops of blood-red and deep purple details and skulls.

There are ideas to steal for everyone (dapper brides included!).

Don’t miss the triangle color explosion invitations, the unicorn hot chocolates, and the mismatched decor of all our dizziest daydreams…
