This stunning wedding shoot was just recently published on BLACK BRIDE, you can read their article here.
This was such a surprise to see this shoot being featured on Black Bride the same day that BET featured another one of our couples! The Love is Real and we absolutely love sharing this type of inspiration featuring black couples to a much larger audience. As a Black Husband and Wife Wedding Photography Team shoots like his really speak to us and we are thrilled to share stunning imagery and the experience with others. Ok enough about that… let’s talk about the inspiration behind this shoot.
As told by Black Bride…
“A city generally known for its ruggedness to outsiders, is seen as a beautiful gem to lifelong residents and those who have come to know Baltimore as their home. Baltimore has always been home for event planner at Penn-Jones Events, Paige. She wanted to showcase the beauty behind the rugged exterior of her city. What better way to do that than to plan a shoot on the Baltimore Harbor!
First known as a leader in the shipbuilding industry, followed by the oyster canning industry and then steel, these elements and Paige's love for sustainability inspired the theme of the shoot 'Timeless Neutrals.' The colors of brown, ivory, gold and bronze were pulled from the industries the city was known for. Baltimore is an iconic location, and is both a great city to live and visit. Check out all the gorgeous details captured by Megapixels Media!
Shoot location: Canopy by Hilton Baltimore Harbor Point, Baltimore City, Maryland
Shoot theme/motif/inspiration: Timeless Neutrals
Color combinations: Brown, Ivory, Gold and Bronze
Favorite detail: Acrylic natural Agate Geode slice with gold edge napkin ring”
We also really loved this shoot because …
with all of the intimate celebrations that we’ve had this past year, this one was all done in one room with help of a planner/coordinator and some strategic poses and placement done by yours truly.
