Sometimes things just come together easily; This particular styled photo shoot was not one of those things! With a dress mishap just two days before the shoot, and an impending winter storm when we were set to shoot outside, things seemed to be working against us. Luckily, with the help of these remarkable vendors, everything fell into place. What happened next was breathtaking! The inspiration behind this styled bridal shoot was eclectic. We wanted to keep the look classic, but weave in elements of modern glam and wedding trends, putting a spin on traditional style.

 

We shot in a historical fire station, which is being turned into a wedding venue in the heart of Houston. The building is raw, with exposed brick and dark staircase;  Mix that with a mirrored table scape, a stunning cake, trees with hanging globes and garland, contemporary seating, not to mention a dazzling couple, and viola – pure magic! 

We mixed white, black, and gold to really make the cake and flowers stand out, and used mirrored tables with a worn gold rim to add a touch of trend to our glam styling. We also pulled in a contemporary lounge area, with studded furniture pieces and high back chairs in a white wash color, which made the blush colored Monique Lhuillier gown dazzle. Our favorite furniture piece was an antique gold framed tufted wall. There were features of gold and yellows through the flowers that complimented the darker and more modern black as well as the exposed brick inside the venue.

Some details from the bride and groom: Milano Exchange nailed the crisp and classic look that Nate was wearing, with adding a pop of jazz to his tie. Adorne Artistry fabulously complimented the bridal gown and Lindsay with their soft up do, and terrific makeup.

 

We loved compiling the features of this shoot, and having the chance to mix differing looks, using elements of classic and modern to compliment each other.
