California wedding photographer DAPHNE MAE'S idea behind this inspiration shoot was �silent anticipation�. Picture this if you will� A graceful bride takes a slow, thoughtful moment to contemplate her impending recital of vows. She sits for a time, indulging in a beautiful jewel toned presentation of sustenance, pondering the grand event about to take place. She wears a cream sequin gown that shimmers in the early autumn afternoon sun, and her great grandmother's amethyst ring. A ethereal peace envelopes her as she sits on the steps outside the venue, the soft chatter of guests arriving permeates the air. The sun is a brilliant orange now, begging to participate as the backdrop to this intimate union.

Alexandria from DAPHNE MAE PHOTOGRAPHY tells us, �The naked cake created by JADE MAGNOLIA was the perfect addition to this nature inspired shoot. The brides' bouquet was gathered from whatever I could find growing naturally around the property. The cheese board was the perfect palette of autumn colors and such a textural addition to this pretty styled shoot. MANDI SIMONE did a beautiful job creating a glowy natural look for the bride, as well as incorporating the nearby foliage in her hair and finally the hand lettered verse written by Megan from RED CALLIGRAPHY was just perfectly delicate and the most gorgeous shade of blue.
