Our summer themed bridal shoot was inspired by a neutral colour pallet, soft foliage and delicate flowers to create a fresh and simple styled shoot. The luscious green Waikato paddocks and olive trees create the most perfect backdrop for a summer themed wedding. Off-setting the gorgeous back drop is the gem adorned floral arrangements; the marble accents and the crystal platters which give this shoot a bit of edge and romantic glam. The Vinka designed wedding dress is soft and flowing, adding to the understated romance of the setting. The model’s soft pink lip and metallic eyes are a perfectly offbeat complement to the shoot’s sweet pastels and delicate lace. The abundance of greenery used in this shoot gives it a fresh summer’s look and ties in all of the elements. The delicate flower crown appeals to our romantic side, while the use of the simple greenery on the cake turns a white cake into a major focus point. The small pops of colour used in the bouquet ties in with the model’s metallic eyes and adds understated glamour to a garden-fresh setting.
