Sleepy Hollow(een) Wedding

November 6, 2009 | 8 comments

I don’t get to feature enough gothic style weddings so when Carmel & Drynn’s rustic yet opulent gothic affair landed on my desk I jumped at the chance to share these.

The Bride told me…
I found my dress at Gothic Wedding Dresses and our flowers were done by Punch Portland. The inspiration for our theme was based on Tim Burton-esque Sleepy Hollow, classic Victorian but with a dark feel. We are kind of “darker” individuals so we wanted that reflected but wanted to do it in a classy tasteful way. We didn’t want to scare our guests too much! We picked Drynn’s hat up at a vintage store the feather piece & my headpieces were done by Cricket Quills.

    Omigod this wedding is amazing. Probably could find a better word to describe it! I love the black and white shots and her dress – a bride with a black dress – does it get any better?! I like the way it does have a ‘dark feel; but not in a tacky overblown way. Proof that you can have a wedding that reflects who you are but still be classy.

    Being the artistic couple they both are, I knew their wedding would be a visual artistic experience!! And it truly was. My daughter Carmel is a beautiful person both to the eye as well as a talented artist, graphic designer, model, photographer whatever you give her she turns to beauty. (even her hair color was cordinated). And Drynn just as talented even designed their rings. I knew their wedding would be true to who they both are, 2 artist in love. They both were beautiful to watch in the dreamy forest, cello in the background perfection.
