I just love good, creative stories brought to life by wedding professionals and today’s woodland nymph, pre-elopement bridal session is definitely one of them! With a lovely concept brought to life by Mandy Forlenza Sticos and beautiful imagery by photographer Fiona Melder, this bridal editorial is a serene dream.
From Mandy Forlenza Sticos – “Our inspiration shoot evolved around the question: ‘What would a woodland nymph do the morning of her elopement?
Daydream while lounging with a good book, snack on wild flowers and forage for a woodland bouquet – just simple, wood nymph living.
My hope was to create natural, sunlit images that evoked a serene bride-to-be awaiting her betrothed in a simple foliage crown and our photographer, Fiona Melder captured exactly that!”
