Sailboat Elopement Editorial in Stamford, Connecticut
COLORFUL SAILBOAT ELOPEMENT INSPIRATION IN STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT
It’s no surprise how much I enjoy photographing coastal and waterfront wedding celebrations. When one of my friends and fellow photographers asked if I had an interest in collaborating on an intimate wedding editorial taking place on a gorgeous sailboat, I was all in!
My sweet friend, Becca, had secured the venue for us: an incredible, meticulously maintained sailboat based in Stamford, Connecticut. The boat is owned by a family friend, so we were even treated to an evening sunset cruise as we photographed the last portraits of the editorial!
As we were planning the style and overall feel of what we wanted to capture, we ultimately decided on something that had a more fashion-forward vibe with plenty of bright, vibrant colors. There are a wide variety of ways to work color into your wedding design, but my favorite way to go about it is with wedding florals!
Vivid pinks, yellows, magentas, and oranges served as our base color palette, and the floral designs in these colors from Loreta Daka Floral Boutique did not disappoint (just wait until you see what she created!). LA Page Makeup and Beauty by Mineko glammed up our bride, giving her a sophisticated yet timeless style. Le Sel Bridal provided us with not one but two incredible gowns from their selection, both of which we couldn’t get enough of. Phillips Designs was kind enough to create an elegant invitation suite that tied the whole day together!
I’m sharing just a few of my favorite moments of this beautiful day below. Thank you to the amazing vendor team who collaborated with us to bring this concept to life!
I hope you enjoyed this New England coastal elopement inspiration! Are you planning an intimate wedding or elopement? What details are you incorporating into your wedding design?
