It is hard to sum up the wedding of Apryl and Jon in only a couple of words. Their wedding was colorful but in a soft romantic painterly way and it was eclectic but in a modern refined way. It was bohemian mod vintage garden magic! Read more and see more from DWeddings and Ruffledblog.com.

Mod Pop | Styled Shoot from Matt McNeill on Vimeo.

 

“It’s not often that I have the opportunity to go crazy with a look: Blemished grain, washed out contrast, gritty locations, flawed colors… While the things happening in front of the camera could have been interpreted in any way, I was more focused on peculiarity than the actual beauty of it. Add some awkward camera angles and Alicia Rico and you’ll have modern pop! The music choice is a Les Gams (French) cover of a non-hit single by The Exciters, He’s Got the Power–– A Le Truc!”

Botanical illustrations are a great place to gather inspiration for your wedding! Peonies, tulips, poppies, and artichokes are both scientific and dreamy. They are a study of color, shape, texture,  and evoke a mood in the way they are represented.
