[field title=”The Inspiration”]Love is intimate between the two people who share it, yet vibrant and visible to the world that watches it come to life, much like the strokes of a paintbrush on a canvas. Our creative vision for this shoot was to evoke the intricate beauty and vibrant emotions that mark the beginning of a lifelong journey together. The Graduate Hotel, with its timeless Art Deco charm and sophisticated interiors, provided the perfect setting for this artistic endeavor.
Koral Bleu Photography, alongside the talented stylist Sweet and Soul Design and an incredible team, brought this dreamy concept to life. The hotel room, filled with an array of ivory, French blue, blush, peach, and orange flowers, became a serene and vibrant sanctuary for the couple on their wedding day.[/field]
