Share

The beauty of mother nature in all her glory was the resounding theme throughout this styled shoot put together and shot by DelPrincipe Photography and Creative Transformations Styling & Events. The modern bride wore a gorgeous silver hued dress that sparkled against the rocky wall backdrop that was one of lead inspirations behind the design.

The talented creatives at The Portable Garden provided the gorgeous blooms, which added a fun pop of color which played out beautifully in the overall design. Read more about this styled shoot below, and as always grab a closer look in the full gallery. Enjoy!
