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 1 of a 3 part series, this first shoot imagines a glamorous elopement featuring unique, 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:
Who doesn’t love sparkle and lace?
The mix of black sparkling and lace accents, including the chic black dress, linens, and table settings, create a magical event!
Plus, an elopement is not only a romantic and an intimate affair, but with the right details, it can be very special for the couple – every detail in this shoot nails it.
And, OMG check out the groom’s shoes, they sparkle too!
