When Emilie from May & Grace Bridal sent me over the pictures from her bridal shoot with Eva Rale Photography & the rest of their amazing team (see full credits below), I just had to share them. I really loved the three distinctive alternative bridal looks ranging from almost ethereal, to strong dark colours and modern imagery. Its clear both of them have a passion for the ‘unexpected’ and have pushed the boundaries away from the ‘usual’ bridal photography session. So let us know which one is your favourite!
Look 1 - Vintage bride with a touch of ethereal magic
The first bridal look was inspired by vintage with a soft ethereal look. There were butterflies and flowers in the brides hair, who was wearing a stunning boho wedding dress called ‘India’ by Zetterberg Couture.
The light and airy interior of the May & Grace bridal boutique provides the perfect backdrop for this first look. Contrasting perfectly with the bright pink and purple flowers and make up!
Look 2 - Bring on the tropical vibe
The tropical look was based on stronger and bolder colours, with dark green foliage and a beautiful exotic flower crown creative by Lane House Flowers. Our bride wears dress by Essence of Australia.
Look 3 - Modern, light and airy
The third and final bridal look was modern, bright and airy. It was back lit, to create a fresh, modern and clean image. Our bride wears dress by Mikaella. Oh and check out the cute dog too!
