Ok you guys, this is one of our all time favorite elopements to date (I know, I know, we say that all the time)! We have been dreaming of working with Ashley (Ash Bilo Photography) for months and unfortunately, our previous projects had to be cancelled due to the Safer at Home order. So we were ecstatic when we Ashley had a vision for our black Bennett gown in the red rock formations in Moab, Utah.
& let us tell you, the images we received back DID NOT DISAPPOINT. An adventurous elopement, black wedding dress, sweet couple, and badass photographer, what more could you ask for?! If these images don’t have you ready to pack your dress in a suitcase and head west, we don’t know what will!

The Covenant at Murray Mansion + Ginkgo and Kira Gowns
Everything about this styled shoot screams romantic and airy! From Bird and Bumble’s bright and colorful creative floral design to the dreamy landscape of Murray Mansion, we can’t help but fall in love. Our Kira and Ginkgo gowns from Alena Leena make a perfect compliment. Ginkgo shows off long, lace sleeves and a floral lace design, while Kira is a bit more subtle with her intricately beaded top and an english net skirt. Both of their a-line silhouettes and whimsical styles have romance written all over them!

Sedona Elopement + Charlis Gown
We love an adventurous elopement, especially when it takes place somewhere as gorgeous as Sedona! While we were not able to make the trip to Arizona, our Charlis gown really shone! This beautiful gown from Jack Sullivan is one of our favorites and we were so excited to show her off with this stunning backdrop. As with all of our gowns, Charlis is available exclusively in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at Strike Bridal Bar!

Villa Terrace + Strelitzia Gown
This may have been one of the simpler styled shoots we have participated in, but what we love about it is that it is ALL ABOUT THE DRESS! No overly complicated backdrops or props to distract away from just a stunning bride and her gown. We have been obsessing over our Strelitzia gown since the moment we laid eyes on her and were so exciting to show her off in this bridal portrait shoot. I mean, how fun are those sleeves?! This collaboration of vendors did an incredible job of making Serena a picturesque bride, we hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Bridal Portraits + Belmont and Dicentra Gowns
Ok so let’s talk community over competition! This is a phrase thrown around often these days and one we really take really seriously. We love supporting other small local businesses and working to promote one another. & of course, we adore working with other extremely talented Wisconsin wedding vendors and believe some absolute magic happens when we work together. Some of our all time favorite images come from creative collaborations like this one.
For this styled shoot, we teamed up with several friendors to create some stunning bridal portraits. Milwaukee Flower Company’s owner, Sally, had a vision for this shoot and really ran with it. Her elaborate flower wall was absolutely breathtaking and felt so lucky to have our gowns photographed in front of it. Make sure you check out all the talented vendors involved and enjoy!
