There’s a unique magic when history meets modernity. It’s a feeling I sought to capture in our Old Hollywood shoot at Château Monsarrat. Inspired by the opulence of vintage glamour and the modern romance of today’s weddings, this editorial shoot was designed to tell a cinematic love story, filled with purposeful detail and striking elegance.
As I stepped into Château Monsarrat, the venue’s historical charm and architectural grandeur set the stage for something extraordinary. With its sweeping arches and timeless beauty, it was clear that this space would lend itself perfectly to a story-driven editorial shoot. Every vendor involved brought a unique vision and artistry to the table, and together we created something that felt as much like a movie set as it did a wedding.
Creating a World of Elegance: The Vision Behind the Shoot
This shoot was an exercise in intentional elegance. From the vintage-inspired gowns curated by Revelle Bridal and the couture suits by Third Son Tailor Shop to the lush florals by Wedecor Inc, every element was chosen for its ability to reflect the grandeur and sophistication of Old Hollywood while keeping a modern sensibility. The warm tones of deep espresso, golden champagne, and mocha mousse, complemented by delicate pearls and silk, set a refined yet intimate atmosphere throughout the day.
The shoot’s goal was clear: to craft a wedding that wasn’t just visually stunning, but emotionally resonant. It was about more than just the decor or the gowns; it was about telling a love story. The layers of silk, gauze, and lace worked together seamlessly, creating an atmosphere that was both vintage and modern in its beauty.
