Just in time for harvest (are you all going apple picking soon?!) we have an incredible apple blossom treat for you from Shanell Photography & Mitten Weddings & Events in Michigan.
We are absolutely wowed by the floral centerpiece of this shoot. The round arch could be built and customized to fit any wedding scene and season, this one made special with white spring apple blossoms.
Watch for the creative calligraphy details and don’t miss the dreamy styled film at the end. How sweet!
Our entire shoot was based around these gorgeous apple blossoms, soft and romantic with feminine touches. Apple trees bloom for less than one week in Michigan. With Michigan’s weather, we had a two week window of when the trees would bloom; but we were willing take the gamble. We had 13 amazing Detroit vendors involved.
The floral arch was the passport into our blossom paradise. The circular arch atop the aisle way into the orchard featured greenery layered with roses, stock, and lisianthks. We also added some beautiful apple blossoms.
I really wanted to show couples the many ways they could utilize a calligrapher. Cali O’Rourke Calligraphy puts romantic touches on unique love quotes. The love quotes were placed on each guest’s table setting and created a custom scroll with our favorite poem. Hints of dusty blue and blush adorned the paper elements.
Custom furniture lined the apple trees for a romantic oasis so the couple could sip on Blake’s Hard cider and take in the breathtaking views.
We wanted everything to feel light and airy while capturing our real couple’s candid moments with bountiful blooming trees.
I selected Blake’s Apple Orchard because I absolutely love springtime with the blooms. I also thought the sun setting behind the trees would be standing with all the bloom showing. Being a film photographer, natural light is super important so I knew that I wanted a location that would be best to let my film work its magic.
