Give us snuggles, kittens, and all the cozy in-home vibes! Our hearts are melting for this in-home couple photo shoot in Edmonton. From the sweet cat kisses to the kitchen hangs and dried florals Fabloomosity created, we can’t get over how adorable every moment this is. While we could go on, we thought we’d share Nicole Ashley Photography‘s words about the shoot:
I wanted to treat my friends Ian and Clarinda to a cozy at-home session with their newest addition and the rest of their fur babies. This loving couple had already adopted two cats into their home, but recently fostered and fell in love with a little calico kitten, Lily. Truthfully, we all encouraged them to be foster fails and to keep Lily from the beginning. After you go through their images, you will know why! She has such a sweet and playful nature and got along with the rest of their crew with ease. And to top it off, this is Ian and Clarinda’s new home, so it was nice to do the session there and make it extra special. A big thank you to Janna from Behind the Blush for helping to be a cat wrangler and stylist on top of providing beautiful hair and makeup!
Joanna and Guillaume wanted their wedding to feel personal and laid-back, so a free-spirited Portugal wedding at Herdade da Maroteira was perfect for them! It was important to the couple that everything—from the reception decor to the bridesmaid dresses—mimic the natural colors of the area. We love how planner Sea Bride and Sun helped them pull this off with a most stunning set-up in hues of tan, terracotta, white, brown, and a touch of coral. If you’re a boho babe, you are also going to love Joanna’s bridal look, that was perfectly complete with a tiara that made her feel like a free-spirited princess! Get ready to be inspired by every photo Golden Days beautifully captured of this romantic day in Portugal.
We absolutely want to get married in Portugal. We have family there, and Portugal culture is very important for us. We were so happy to permit to our guests to discover the crazy region of Alentejo. The plan was to have a perfect mixture between typical style, elegance and modernism. We wanted a different wedding, something very personal! This wedding was more like a big party, spending time with our friends and family!
I wanted a very natural make up and hair style, the team “Les jolies filles” respected perfectly my decision! My wedding dress was just perfect! Rue de Seine dresses are very unusual, a boho style, and very modern. I choose to wear a tiara, maybe the dream to be a princess on my wedding day. The bridal party to respected the laid-back atmosphere and didn’t wear the same dress or the same color. I just wanted them to match with the colors of the region and of the decoration. The were so beautiful.
We absolutely want to keep the spirit of the region. Natural colors, natural materials to mach with the vegetation of the region. Beige, Terracotta, white, brown, and a touch of peach.
The relationship with the wedding planner was so important. We gathered the same values and the same affection for Portugal!
Congratulations, Joanna and Guillaume, and many thanks to Sea Bride and Sun for sharing their Herdade da Maroteira wedding day with Junebug! If you’re searching for more Portugal wedding inspiration, you will love this rustic boho wedding at Forte de Cruz.
