Styled shoots are a creative way for photographers, stylists, and other wedding pros, to show off their talent and visions to inspire readers for their own wedding planning.
Today’s styled shoot’s theme is Black Ice and is the vision of Michelle Ellis, owner of McEllis Brides.
Part 3 of this series, this shoot imagines a micro wedding, custom bridal attire by McEllis Brides.
The Scoop:
Here’s what Michelle says about her inspiration behind this theme…
“I wanted to capture the new look of weddings after Covid. Celebrations will be a lot smaller and non traditional. I want to inspire couples by telling a story through images. They do not have to sacrifice the luxurious and elegant aspects of their wedding because they have to scale down. You can still get all the feels, whether your eloping or having a micro wedding.”
What we love:
Chic, elegant weddings are trending and we think this trend is just as a wedding should be.
It’s that one day to put on the glitz and glamour, to celebrate this special occasion.
Plus an intimate wedding allows the couple to focus more on themselves and the sacred vows they are exchanging.
Chic details of the reception which follows will create a once in a life time, memorable day in which you became two.
The perfect ending is dancing together in an elegant ballroom, just the two of you.
What could be more romantic?
