A styled wedding shoot always helps to push our creative limits, and brainstorm new ideas. At real weddings we work on a tight schedule, and may not be able to experiment. As a result, this Barnsley Resort Styled Wedding let us break free of time constraints. This shoot combined the magnificent styling of Pollyanna Richter. We have done many styled wedding shoots and wedding photography workshops together before, and the experience has always been very wonderful.

I suggested Barnsley Resort as the venue for our stylized shoot. Many weddings happen at this prestigious location, with old bricks, gorgeous ruins, and great backdrop. From a wedding client’s perspective, Barnsley Resort is one of a kind. Since it has many luxurious amenities, like golf course, spa (you can relax between the hectic schedule of a wedding), and the cottages you rent, this venue leads to a good time with family and friends.

Pollyanna styled the whole session as a reception. Therefore, we photographed everything from the dress to capturing the resort decorated with lights like an actual wedding. Richter Estate Jewelers provided the antique pieces. They drove all the way from Buckhead, with some beautiful vintage jewelry pieces. They not only went perfectly with Bride’s dress, but also the location. After this we photographed all of our detailed shots. This includes but is not limited to hair and makeup, flowers, table setting, invitations, jewelry, and cake. Because we know that the purpose of a styled shoot is to expertly represent everything that our vendors put effort in.

An extremely high chance of rain made us nervous, but things worked out in our favor in the end. A huge dark cloud literally split and went around us in two different directions leaving us with intense humidity for the shoot. The models, Alyssa and Chase knew what they were doing. They phenomenally delivered the kind of work we hoped for. Since they met for the first time, Alyssa and Chase impressed us with their ‘Bride and Groom spark’. Their chemistry was magnetic, as you can witness in our pictures. The dress and the Tux perfectly matched the envisioned style and venue!

The work and services provided by our vendors were top-notch. Finally, we are so thankful for opportunities like the Styled Wedding at Barnsley Resort. We hope to work with each of these vendors again soon!
