It’s been done for the opening of Gatsby, Hunger Games, and even Frozen {do you automatically start singing Let It Go?}. Bridal shoots that depict the style, glamour, and theme for each movie. We all get caught up in the tiny little details, the perfect table settings, and the bride’s designer gown.
With Easter Sunday, and the release of a multitude of religious inspired movies, we decided to do a photo shoot with a focus on the Holiness of marriage. All the details are here, the personal touches, the table décor, and the vignettes. The entire shoot was created with a group of vendors, who all walk in faith.
The ceremony was respectfully set in front of a constructed eight foot driftwood cross, with an array of red, purple and green florals. The Church pew was a nice nod to the traditional church setting. Our tablescape included vintage china, gold flatware, and chameleon chairs from Winter’s Events. Replacing a traditional dinner menu, was a custom “Menu For Life” recipe, designed by Written Word Calligraphy. A vintage communion tray was graced with touches of candles, florals, and traditional crosses. Our take for a dessert display was a communion table, representing the sweetness of a couple’s love, and God’s favor. This communion table included the bread (body of Christ), and red wine (blood of Christ). Hundred year old family Bibles were used to represent the Word, and placement of time specific food were brought to the table.
This inspirational Easter themed photo shoot reflects the union of a couple’s hearts and lives. It represents a willingness to keep a commitment that makes the two of them one, and one with faith. – by Opihi Love
