Intimate Travel Themed Wedding Inspiration

Happy Tuesday Friends! Can I just say I can’t believe it is FEBRUARY!!! Where did January go? But we are here in the month of love! I am so excited about all the wedding bookings we have gotten lately! It makes me giddy thinking about all the beautiful wedding days we get to be a part of soon! I am missing wedding season! Today I am sharing an old favorite for some wedding inspiration!

I shot this SIX YEARS AGO in California. It was a beautiful travel themed intimate wedding inspiration shoot that had stunning details. I share this for two reasons. The first is that you can do so much with small weddings. Having an intimate wedding gives you the budget to do more! This had a set-up for around 12 guests. It was decked out fully with a small cocktail area, ceremony set-up and a reception set-up that reminds of Alice in wonderland! They had a bunch of tiny details added here and there that created such a personal touch! It was simply stunning! Less is More! 🙂

Secondly, I share this because I am proud to show it here today. Although there are a few things I would change shooting wise (more close-up details, etc) I think these photos are pretty timeless. You certainly can’t tell they were from 6 years ago! And that is my goal for our weddings. To give you classic and timeless photos that tell the story of your day. We want your memories to last so that your children and grandchildren can view your photos and feel like they were there! It is something I am striving for in every wedding day!

So without further ado, feast your eyes on some gorgeous travel themed photos and enjoy!
