Styled Shoot: Vintage Pastel Gold

Featuring Blue by Enzoani Inaru Wedding Dress

Picture-perfect romance captured in The Netherlands: a photographer's dream. For photographer Marielle Kokke, this styled shoot featuring our Inaru gown from the 2016 Blue by Enzoani collection at LaDonna Nijmegen brought a gorgeous fairytale to life. Read on to learn about Marielle's vision, how the shoot went...and how it all turned out.

Vintage Pastel Gold: A Wedding to Dream About

"A beautiful medieval castle, the most beautiful accessories, and of course a great couple... The styled wedding shoot I was allowed to do recently was a dream come true! What a party to make such a shoot with so many talented people and professional firms. The theme for this wedding shoot was 'Vintage Pastel Gold.” Be inspired and dream away to your own wedding..."

Getting Ready

"At last it’s the big day, the day that the couple had been looking forward to for so long. The 'healthy tension' is palpable for our lovely bride Rox: 'How will the day go? What does he think of my dress?' This anticipation is replaced by pleasant jitters as hair stylist Glennie is busy with the bride’s hairstyle. Makeup artist Jennifer brings out the natural beauty of the bride even more. During this relaxed preparation, there is a lot of laughter, and Rox already shines. It was ideal for me as a photographer!"

Modern and Classic

"Lace details, tiny beads, and a seductive open back: The dazzling bridal gown Inaru from the 2016 Blue by Enzoani collection fits perfectly with the Vintage Pastel Gold theme - modern, yet with a classic twist. It fits perfectly on Rox's body, which directly helps for getting the best images. Meanwhile, groom Merijn is also almost ready. The anticipation builds...how will the first look go?"

A Most Romantic Place

"With a castle-moat, a long driveway, a nice orchard and beautiful green gardens, there are few locations that exceed the romantic atmosphere of Slot Doddendael. This makes it an ideal place for a vintage wedding. After Rox and Merry have admired each other in their bridal best, we discover the most beautiful spots of the castle together."

"Of course the clothes, the environment, accessories, wedding cake, and flowers are very important, but one thing does really steal the show. And that is the chemistry between the couple. To be able to capture it as a wedding photographer is always such a special experience!"
