Dark Romance was the very first styled wedding I planned with Ashley and Tara. We had 17 amazing vendors help bring our vision to life. 

Dark Romance was a dark, romantic and moody wedding styled shoot with black, gold, champagne, ivory, sage and plum tones. It took place at Shenandoah Mill in Gilbert, Arizona. The ceremony site was located in the gardens beneath a vine filled trellis. Tall candelabras surrounded by candles on the ground were on both sides of the ceremony site. An enchanting black chandelier adorned with candles and floral hung from the center of the trellis.

The bride wore a gorgeous black and white gown with a sweetheart neckline and a long black veil. Her beautiful lavender colored hair was curled and half pulled back with a braid. Her makeup was very moody with dark smokey eyes and a nude lip. The bridesmaids wore long mismatched dresses in plum and a dark sage green. The bouquets were artfully arranged with plum, deep dark purple and champagne colored floral. The groom was dressed head to toe in all black with a plum colored tie and boutonniere.

We ended our shoot with an epic black smoke bomb behind our lovely couple. It was definitely a big learning experience planning such a large scale styled shoot for our photography community but we loved it!
