Moody Candlelight Elevates This Romantic Bridal Session

A little bit vintage, a little bit whimsical and a little bit romantic, this bridal session gets taken to another level with moody candlelight and woodland accents. We love how Jason Smelser Photography captured this session with dramatic lighting to truly accentuate the bride’s features, the wonderful florals by Whimsical Events and that incredible boho gown from Unbridaled, of course! The floral installation surrounding the fireplace as well as the bride’s bouquet both work perfectly with the enchanted woodland fairy tale vibe, carried through in the tablescape adorned with even more vintage candlesticks, masculine antler accents and a plethora of ivory roses for balance. The vision for this oh-so-romantic session sure came together beautifully!
