A shoot that took place exactly one year ago (to the day) was the source of inspiration for this shoot. One year ago, Emunah Events and Poppy & Sage Photography teamed up to create a crisp white & green-inspired bridal at Fort Lytton National Park.
A lot can change during the course of a year. One beautiful association with the passing of time is growth. With that in mind, Emunah Events and Poppy & Sage Photography embraced the concept of growth in this shoot.
Growth is typically associated with improvement and advancement and clarity: all aspects of life worth celebrating. From this inspiration, a soft, romantic bridal shoot was created at Fort Lytton National Park. It was full of celebratory spring & bohemian vibes with pops of bold colour.
The shoot began with a creamy, feminine scene and ended with a dramatic & epic pink sky at sunset. The colour palette featured morganite pink, white roses, and honey silk, to name a few.
The hair & makeup look was created by Makeup by Mir. It featured soft, natural makeup using neutral tones and a romantic, loose braided updo for the romantic & bohemian bride.
The shoot featured 3 bouquets:
The first bouquet was garden-inspired: it was hand-tied & incorporated soft, spring tones of apricot, cream, and lush foliage delicately tied together with a flowing honey silk ribbon.
In contrast, the second bouquet was both bold & structured. It contained a striking pink Cymbidium and preserved Amaranthus. A pop of deep velvet red, soft blush & classic white Roses to complete the look. It was created with a daring bride in mind.
The third bouquet executed a bold & unique interpretation of the classic white & green bouquet. It featured green Anthuriums, preserved white Ferns, and plum-coloured Palm. Finally, the classic white Rose was incorporated.
Our lovely bridal muse wore a stunning fitted gown, featuring a split, from Sew Master Fashions. It was teamed with an elegant cape that showcased delicate lacework around the nape.
The jewellery pieces chosen for this shoot by Starfire Diamond Jewellery reflected our stunning bridal muse and accented the fiery sunset skies of the late afternoon.
The first collection of jewellery featured SDJ's striking Graceful diamond pendant, delicate Blossom earrings and a selection of diamond bands that complemented our gorgeous Love Goddess engagement ring. Together these pieces emulated an understated, yet feminine and graceful, look.
The second collection of jewellery included SDJ's iconic morganite and diamond ring, an elegant pearl strand and their signature Persian Queen diamond earrings with pearl droplets. This look was empowering and strong; it intensified the refined gown and bouquet.
Finally, as the sky deepened in colour and drama, the final engagement ring look included SDJ's shimmering Blue Sky aquamarine ring with matching diamond bands. It shone on the finger, capturing the dramatic skies and beauty of the bride.
Our beautiful bridal muse, Billie Erin, channelled the romantic, bohemian vibes of this shoot and was easy to direct. She has a wonderful ability to portray emotion naturally, encapsulating the essence of this shoot. Billie is a deaf model and has been modelling ever since she was a teenager; communicating with her is easy as she speaks and hears really well. We absolutely loved working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone.
It was such a delight to celebrate, along with an outstanding team of vendors & wonderful model, the improvement, advancement and clarity that comes with the passing of time.
Even just a year.
