From the photographer: This beautiful styled shoot was created for the romantic, modern bride who dares to be different. This bride loves to stand out in a crowd and makes bold decisions. This editorial was designed for the wow factor and thanks to our A-list vendor team, I think we did just that.

This editorial was designed off of Claire La Faye‘s beautiful black gown. This statement gown stole our hearts and we knew we had to have this gown for our fall wedding shoot. We played off this gown by adding black velvet lines, black & gold accents and gorgeous rich fall flowers. This editorial is proof that making bold choices is worth it.
