Step into a world where love meets artistry in 'Monet Dreams' - a breathtaking wedding styled shoot set amidst the enchanting landscapes of coastal Rhode Island's Glen Manor House. Inspired by the timeless elegance of Claude Monet's masterpieces, every detail is a brushstroke of perfection meticulously crafted by Brianna Graca and the team at MK Your Dream Day. From lush florals to ethereal backdrops, join me on a journey where romance and creativity intertwine seamlessly. Dive into a world where dreams become reality, and let your love story bloom in hues of Monet's palette.

Glen Manor House itself served as the backdrop for our first couple. Jill, radiant in a one-of-a-kind gown from Lynn Carter Atelier, embodies timeless beauty and grace. Against the backdrop of this historic mansion, her dress stuns, capturing the essence of sophistication. The direct afternoon sun wasn’t the only thing shining bright, Jill truly sparkled from head to toe. The getaway car, a vintage Newport classic, adds the perfect touch of luxury, elevating this enchanting setup to a level of unparalleled romance.

Next - step into a scene of enchantment on the patio, where hues of pink and blue intermingle amidst architectural splendor. The tablescape, a masterpiece of design, is adorned with lush florals by Botanica Wedding Florals, their beauty cascading gracefully along the table and floor. Above, a stunning chandelier bathes the scene in a soft glow, its arms draped in verdant greenery. Every detail is meticulously attended to, from the elegant place settings to the delicate floral sprigs gracing each plate.

Kailee & Thomas stand poised for their outdoor ceremony, framed by the breathtaking backdrop of the ocean. A majestic floral arch adorns the ceremony site, its blooms weaving a tapestry of love and beauty against the azure sky.

As the gentle breeze carries whispers of anticipation, a live painter delicately immortalizes this moment with strokes of her brush, capturing the essence of love in every stroke.

Kailee's dress is a vision straight out of vintage dreams, with a long train and puffy sleeves adorned with delicate florals and butterflies, transporting onlookers to a world of whimsy and enchantment.

Behold Zoe, resplendent in a lace gown adorned with intricate floral details cascading down her sleeves. As she graces the back patio of this historic mansion, guests are transported to the romantic streets of Paris. A vintage bicycle, its basket overflowing with blooms, sets the scene, while two towering mountains of macarons beckon indulgence.

But the pièce de résistance? A champagne cart, complete with a whimsical 'ring for champagne' bell, awaits, boasting custom-made bottles and a dazzling champagne tower.

Step into elegance and camaraderie as we enter one of the grand ballrooms, adorned with vintage paintings that whisper tales of yesteryears. A luxurious blue couch, perfectly aligned with the color scheme, invites our bride and her four bridesmaids to share intimate moments of laughter and champagne-fueled joy before the ceremony unfolds.

The bride, draped in a gown of delicate lace accentuated by a stunning shawl, exudes timeless grace and poise. Alongside her, the bridesmaids radiate beauty in alternating hues of solid blue and floral green, creating a harmonious palette that mirrors the lush surroundings.

Enter the next ballroom, where Laura-Kate and Peyton take center stage for an evening of cake and dancing. All eyes are on Laura-Kate as she dazzles in a breathtaking tulle dress that seems to float on air.

As the harpist's melodies fill the room with enchantment, Laura-Kate and Peyton strike poses worthy of an editorial spread, their love radiating with every step on the dance floor. Amidst the joyous atmosphere, they come together to 'cut' into a simple yet elegant cake, sharing laughter and sweet moments that will be cherished forever.

Ascend to the bridal suite, where Jessica savors a serene moment amidst the whirlwind of her wedding day. With a cup of coffee in hand, she indulges in quiet reflection, perusing a bridal magazine that highlights the visionary behind this exquisite shoot, Brianna Graca Weddings.

As sunlight dances through the window, Jessica's lace dress hangs like a work of art, while she, draped in a sheer white robe, epitomizes effortless elegance. With hair and makeup meticulously styled, she gazes out to the vast expanse of the ocean, anticipation mingling with tranquility in the air.

In our final moments, we turn our lenses to the intricate details that add depth and meaning to the tapestry of love. Flat lays become canvases for showcasing the exquisite beauty of invitation suites, delicate rings, and cherished trinkets, each holding a story within its grasp.

But it is the shoes that steal the spotlight, embodying elegance and personality in every step. Amidst this symphony of details, the stationary stands out as a true work of art, a testament to the creative genius of Emily Murray from Something Borrowed event decor.

Inspired by the creative vision of Brianna Graca Weddings and MK Your Dream Day Planning, this styled shoot was a testament to the seamless collaboration between these genius minds and the talented vendors involved. As a photographer, I was honored to be a part of this breathtaking endeavor, capturing moments that reflect not only my work but also the collective artistry of all those involved.
