Phoenix Elopement + Strelitzia Gown

Using the natural colors found in Arizona and the gorgeous desert sunset as inspiration, this Phoenix elopement couldn't have turned out any better. We wanted to use as many natural elements and colors as we could to ensure every detail didn't overwhelm the scenery. Wood elements, earthy flowers, and an intimate picnic set the mood. The warm tones in this Alena Leena gown were enhanced by the sunset with a little drama added by those magnificent sleeve as our soon-to-be wed couple were able to ease pre-wedding jitters by exchanging a few words under the saguaros.

Moab Elopement + Bennett Gown

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!
