From Elizabeth Ngundue Photography...I am SO excited to share this blush and gold inspiration shoot with you! It’s full of vintage furniture, gorgeous flowers, and a couple, head over heels in love. The inspiration for this shoot came from an Audrey Hepburn quote: “The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.”
This quote was so beautiful to me; it reminded me that beauty is from within, although society often says otherwise. I sketched and designed a custom wedding dress for Shelby and watched as my ideas came to life. I chose a vintage, tea length style for her dress, with beautiful lace billowing down the sides. I wanted long sleeves with lace throughout to bring a true classy, vintage feel to the shoot.
Zach wore a tan suit with a blush pink tie, to complete the color palette. I found Shelby the cutest blush heels, complimenting her tattoos very elegantly. Her bridal bouquet was just perfect, with multiple pink tones and gold tipped succulents. I set up the sweetheart table setting with mismatched lace doilies, floating candles, gold chairs, and a lovely blush and gold cake. I wanted this moment for them to be intimate. Serene. Beautiful. Their rose gold rings were the perfect touch to the outfits, bringing everything together. I was amazed to watch my vision come to life all at once; it was incredible.
Shelby and Zach are a beautiful couple! I really wanted to portray the beauty of their souls in this shoot, and that’s what I focused on. The love between two souls is so much deeper than any physical love will ever bring. I wanted something real. The world we live in today is so bogged down by fake portrayals of the human race. Photoshop is used in nearly every photograph, and women are feeling more and more like that level of beauty is unattainable. For this reason, I chose to leave every photo from our inspiration shoot unedited. Beauty IS real. It IS attainable. And it happens to show most freely when two souls are in love; vowing to commit the rest of their lives to one another.
