Utah Bride and Groom Portraits

"Wrap me up in a shawl of roses, put flowers in my hair and carry me to the land where love is around us"... Those words come to mind when we see this beauty captured by Alyssia B. Photography.

The beautiful bride who created her own flower crown wanted to depict her way of sweetness and charm which the photographer captured wonderfully. The lovely couple describes themselves as romantics and to top it up, the couple is very creative. Astonishing design of her wedding dress is the product of the bride's style and taste in fashion. Simple yet so intricate, the dress is all hand-made and it makes us speechless!

From the photographer: When I first met Dani, I could tell she was one of the sweetest people I would ever meet. She was soft spoken with a sweet brazilian accent, but it was very clear how much her and Brady adore each other. For their groomal shoot I chose a green mountainous location next to a lake that had a very soft and feminine feel to it to flow with her style. When they showed up to the shoot I was blown away by her dress. It was so simple but absolutely gorgeous! And the best part is she designed it herself! She had a lady in Brazil make it, and she also brought the flowers from Brazil and made her own floral crown. It was the perfect touch!! I loved spending the evening with these two and seeing how gentle and sweet they were together!

Fairytale Day After Shoot in Portugal

Who doesn't love fairy tales?! Especially those fairy tales that involve lots of prettiness, horses and knights in shining armor? We certainly do! And here's one of the reasons why! 

This absolutely gorgeous couple, born and raised in Germany, followed their hearts and got married in the land of green hills and olive groves, beautiful Portugal. Portugal warmly welcomes guests and tourists, and shares so much beauty with them. Our newlyweds went to the land of their parents and created their special, full of memories fairy tale with the help of the talented photographer, Fabio Azanha.

Let's get cozy and enjoy eye candy art photography all the way from the heart of beautiful Portugal!

About the couple: "Cristian and myself were born in Germany and we both have Portuguese origins. We met two years ago and I could say with all confidence that it was a love first sight: we new at once that we were meant for one another. Shortly after we planned to marry. We both agreed that our wedding would have to happen in our parents´ native land: Portugal."

Marriage advice for our readers: "For a happy marriage one needs a happy, loving and determined couple that is ready to take up the challenge of making a routine life a happy life. The key to that is a great communication and a trust and loving onself helps to understand the needs of the other."

About your shoot: "It was a fulfilled childhood dream of mine (Nadine)  to have a fairy tale wedding with a white mare in a woods . Our parents´ native land has plenty of places for a perfect scenery backdrop, so we found this abandoned Chapel in the mountain range of Sintra surrounded by the Sintra woods. Although it was a hot summer day, up in the hills we were met with a dense fog that gave us this perfect mystic atmosphere. It really felt like living a fairytale. We then descended to continue our session at the beach and by then the day was going to an end. We made the most of the sunset and our presence did not seem to bother the local working fisher men. Both parts of our session was a wonderful experience and thanks to great professionalism and talent of Maria and Fábio Azanha we felt very at ease throughout the whole time and we absolutely love the images."

Vienna Day After Session

Oh beautiful Vienna, your narrow streets are inviting and mini bistros with delicious hot chocolate and truffles would make anyone happier, especially if we talk about newlyweds. Paul and Gina got married in Romania, but decided to have a little celebration photo session in Vienna. At times gloomy and yet so romantic, Vienna is perfect for long walks, embracing the city's history and sipping tea in a local cafe with macaroon or chocolate marzipan candies.

Paul and Gina's love story is captured by Be Light Photography is a beautiful reason for all newlyweds to consider traveling to Europe for a special celebration voyage and creating memories with a special meaning!

From the photographer: Paul and Gina got married in Romania and decided to have this destination shooting short after that. Vienna seemed the pefect choice, and the rainy weather made it even more romantic. They took a walk in the Schonbrunn Gardens, a spectacular royal place full of history, that illustrates the tastes of successive Habsburg kings and queens.

Day-After Session by Ping Photography

What a wonderful idea is it to celebrate every wedding anniversary by capturing special moments together with your beloved one! Maria and Brandon got together to plan a mini romantic shoot which Ping Photography beautifully captured.

All dressed in white, the beautiful bride and her groom got to collect apples from a local farm, and all smiles, they just enjoyed each other's company. Kissing in the middle of the forrest beautifully decorated with yellow leaves, this lovely couple remembered bringing a special piece... the bridal bouquet which the bride lovingly preserved!  Now, isn't that sweet?!

About the shoot: Maria and Brandon did an 1 year anniversary "day after" or "trash the dress" shoot with us! We started at the beautiful Peninsula State Park in Fish Creek WI with the fall leaves and ended the session at Seaquist Orchards in Sister Bay WI.

Fun "Day-After" Shoot by Ping Photography

This shoot by Ping Photography is truly fun! We fell in love with the bright red heels the bride picked for her day! We love it when brides pick accessories, sashes or shoes to make a statement, and it's always wonderful to see different color combinations that are not traditional. It's a refreshing way of creating your special day the way you'd like it to match your personality. And most importantly, it's fun to have your better half do it with you! Great job on that, newlyweds!

Charming shoot with the bride carrying her colorful balloons as she walks with her beau in the green field,drawing hearts in the sand and kissing in the middle of the road! True love birds doing what they do best and we adore it!
