a ‘wild’ styled shoot
What is a styled shoot?
If you've been on Pinterest or Instagram lately, you've probably seen beautiful photos of couples in fields of wildflowers or bridesmaids laughing while they walk down the aisle. Those are called styled shoots, and they're becoming more and more popular among engaged couples. But what exactly is a styled shoot? Keep reading to find out!
A styled shoot is a photo shoot that is planned and executed by a team of vendors, typically including a photographer, florist, stylist, and makeup artist. The purpose of a styled shoot is to showcase the vendors' talents and to provide inspiration for engaged couples. Many times, the photos from a styled shoot will be featured on wedding blogs or in magazines.
One of the best things about styled shoots is that they allow couples to see what their wedding day could look like if they hired specific vendors. For example, if you love the way the florals look in a particular styled shoot, then you can be confident that the florist would be able to create something similar for your own wedding day. Plus, it's always nice to see your potential vendors in action before you commit to hiring them!
If you're feeling inspired by what you've seen on Pinterest or Instagram and you're considering booking a styled shoot, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, styled shoots can be expensive—so make sure you factor that into your budget. Second, don't feel like you have to do everything that you see in the photos—pick and choose the elements that inspire you the most and forget about the rest. And finally, have fun with it! This is your opportunity to be as creative as you want and to really personalize your wedding day vision.
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but one of the best ways to get inspired is by looking at styled shoots. These are photo shoots that are planned and executed by teams of vendors and feature real couples in beautiful settings. Styled shoots can give you ideas for your own wedding day and help you narrow down which vendors you might want to work with. Just remember to have fun with it—after all, this is your big day!
