Departing from the notion that a bride, in preparation for her wedding day is in a state of continuous growth and life, this shoot was born. A collaboration of talented experts, this shoot depicts the opulent and natural outdoor wedding. All the elements blend in seamless perfection creating a timelessly beautiful shoot. It looks so radiant you wouldn't have guessed that this shoot was done in the middle of winter, thus presenting the true meaning of evergreen itself. "This session is so special for me because two of my closest friends were the bride & the groom. It means the world to me to be able to capture them in such a pure way. Just them two, together, sharing their love," said Sawyer Baird, the photographer. Leaf through the gallery of the shoot and be enchanted by its beauty.
A little note from the designer:
Our couple was dressed in classic yet effortlessly elegant style. The bride, dressed in Sarah Seven's Violet Hour from The Sentimentalist, exuded gentleness and humility. Claudia Verduzco made this young bride look mature but not overdone with soft make up and a simple half-up hair style. Our groom, dressed by The Modern Gent, was charming and comfortable in his black tux and gray Cole Haan dress shoes. Jewels for the bride came from Trumpet & Horn and the velvet ring box was a vintage find from Athens Antique Mall.
Sarah Ingram of Brush and Petal created the custom invitation suite and flowers. Her calligraphy, created on paper in the softest shade of light blue, was a perfect complement to the rustic dinner setting. Our farm table setting was complete with a sheer runner by I Do Linens, personal vintage china and cross back chairs from Goodwin Event Rentals which Sarah adorned with a simple garland. The bride's bouquet was an organic mixture of greenery and foraged hellebores while the groom had a single white ranunculus for his boutonniere.
With an outdoor setting like the Founders Garden, we imagined guests enjoying southern hors d'oeuvres like a fig & goat cheese crostini from Epting Events and a water-color inspired wedding cake from Classic City Confections. Being able to create this inspired shoot with Sawyer Baird was a dream come true and she captured the details, emotions and setting perfectly.
