As much as we love a spectacular venue or a cool historic building, we totally see why some brides prefer a more natural look – something that’s simple and organic, but really brings out the beauty of the day itself. Of course, it helps when you have a setting like the one in today’s shoot by The Nolans to build off of. Teaming up with Alee Willis, they gathered a few select props to simply enhance their enchanting little pocket of the forest in Arkansas.
The Nolans say, The one thing we really wanted to do while planning this gorgeous inspiration photo shoot was to reach out and grab the attention of brides who want to be different, brides who want simply want their day to be natural.
Doesn’t this spread look like it was torn straight from a storybook?
Alee Willis created these whimsical floral arrangements by pairing beautiful blooms with findings from the area.
Understated elegance… A simple braided hairstyle, a few eye-catching pieces of jewelry from the photog’s personal collection, and one pretty white dress.
Those candles!
Thanks to the team below for a fairytale shoot.
