Sunrise Styled Shoot | Folly Beach



Wakey wakey, all you sleepyheads. It’s a beautiful day and us gals over here at The Wedding Row office are here to make sure you roll out on the right side of the bed. How now? Well, once you lay eyes on this collection of ga-ga-gorgeous images from a shoot designed by Emma Job of The Petal Report, you’ll see how. Emma, along with a talented troupe of vendors stepped onto Folly Beach at 5:00 a.m. (bet their hands were cupping Starbucks) to start the preparations and it seems the early bird most definitely caught the worm as this sunrise shoot is downright lovely. From the fitted dusty blue bodice of the Emily Kotarski gown (oh, and sighhh, the tulle skirt is adorned with pearls) to the asymmetrical bouquet popping with color left and right to that streaming golden morning light, are hearts are beating overtime.“The purpose of this shoot was to really show that multiple color palettes and looks can complement one another quite nicely. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your wedding colors,” says Emma and we couldn’t agree more. Brides-to-be, we hope you are taking notes, as we have no doubt this look could be easily replicated and could make for some smashing good bridal portraits as evidence by these images below. Enjoy!
