Bridal Portraits

A couple poses together on a weathered wooden dock extending over calm water, in what appears to be a lakeside or coastal setting with moored sailboats and a rowboat visible in the background. The bride reclines across the dock wearing a flowing ivory gown with a lace bodice and chiffon skirt, while the groom leans over her dressed in burgundy trousers, a white shirt, and a dark waistcoat, both barefoot. The shoot has a relaxed, bohemian styling with warm golden-hour tones casting an amber glow across the scene. This is a wide portrait shot with a slightly elevated angle, capturing both the couple and the expansive waterside backdrop.

The bride wears an ivory lace bodice top and a flowing ivory chiffon skirt with a wide ribbon wrist cuff. The bouquet features a rich autumnal palette of peach garden roses, burnt orange dahlias, cream lisianthus, deep burgundy hellebores, rust-toned carnations, and clusters of red berries, with trailing green foliage and long ivory satin ribbons. The arrangement has an unstructured, garden-style composition with branching elements extending outward. The background shows a warm golden wheat field with scattered wildflowers in terracotta, cream, and burgundy tones, consistent with a late-summer or early-autumn shoot.

The groom wears a white dress shirt with a dark brown vest, while the bride wears a spaghetti-strap lace bodice wedding dress with her dark curly hair worn half-up. The surrounding wildflowers include deep burgundy and coral-red poppies, blush ranunculus, and white cow parsley, creating a rich warm-toned boho aesthetic. The shot is a close-up portrait with soft warm backlighting, giving the image a golden haze consistent with late afternoon sun.

In the open fields and along the quiet dock, the bride moved barefoot through the golden Alpine light. Klem Photographie captured her in a lace and tulle gown by Mademoiselle Reve Maria, each frame balanced between editorial composition and spontaneous joy. Wild floral accents by Miss Acacia added terracotta and blush tones that echoed the surrounding landscape, grounding every portrait in the warmth of the setting.

Bridal Party

The flower girl wears a blush pink dress with a lace cap-sleeve bodice and a floral crown of terracotta, rust, and blush blooms in her hair. In the lower left foreground, a cluster of florals in peach, rust, and deep burgundy — including what appear to be dahlias and ranunculus — adds color to the composition. The shot is a close-to-mid portrait with warm golden tones.

The suite belongs to a couple named Sarah et Jordan and includes a wedding invitation on warm beige card stock with terracotta typography, a menu card in white with a terracotta accent panel, a terracotta-colored RSVP card, a place card, and a small dark burgundy card.

Handmade jewellery by Mignonne Handmade, wild berry sprigs, and loose floral elements by Miss Acacia surrounded each arranged detail. The styling balanced refinement with a free-spirited quality, every piece chosen to echo the natural textures of the Alpine setting.
