Today we bring you a stylish floral wedding gown shoot from Live View Photography. Inspiration, timelessness, love letters, and reminiscing – they’ve packed it all into one gorgeous and romantic shoot. Exploring a special series of sentiments through a story told in love letters from one generation to the next, this photo shoot has symbolism throughout. From the parents looking on with an heir of sentimentality of their own love story told in letters and helping their children prepare for a new generation of love stories to the letters etched into the cake and the home providing a sense of childhood familiarity.
A beautiful historic home converted to a new wedding venue is a perfect backdrop for the tale of images, with rich wood floors and soft light coming through the windows. Even the tables have antique teacups and elements that represent family heirlooms and continued traditions. The bride’s beautiful vintage style floral wedding gown styled with pearls and 20,s styled up-swept hair echos the sentiment of timelessness. Check out the amazing job the storytellers at Live View Photography have done and be inspired for your own wedding photo shoots!
The concept of this shoot is conveying that love & marriage is a journey. Sometimes it’s not perfect, but the beauty of a marriage comes when viewing the journey together as a whole. The shoot is filled with hand lettered notes, and the concept of writing and giving love letters is featured prominently – even down to the cake having the look of old letters in it’s design. Our shoot begins with a couple preparing for their wedding day. They are back-dropped by an older couple representing the bride’s parents, who are also reminiscing about their own wedding day and love letters that they wrote to each other throughout the years. The mother helps the bride get ready, and gives her jewelry that is symbolic of her own love many years ago, and represents an heirloom. There are quiet moments with the parents, and moments where the older couple prays with the soon-to-be-married couple. The couple begins their married life together by giving love letters to each other, inspired by the love letters that the bride’s parents wrote to each other.
The emotion conveyed is that of heirlooms and values being passed down through generations, family, and the journey that love takes us on. The shoot was held in a new wedding venue that is a historic home, filled with rich wood floors and light seeping through windows that have seen thousands of sunsets.
The details have been inspired by that which is timeless, and evokes a sense of home, as if the bride is getting married in her childhood home, surrounded by familiar and loving memories.
