An Elegant Forest Wedding: Styled Shoot Magic with Coldwater Studio & You're So Fancy Studio
There are some shoots that feel like pure magic from start to finish—and this one was exactly that. Hosted through You're So Fancy Studio in collaboration with Coldwater Studio, we dreamed up an elegant forest wedding editorial that brought together some of the most talented creatives in the industry. From romantic details to golden hour light, this shoot was everything we hoped for and more.
The Vision: Whimsy Meets Elegance
Set just a few hours before sunset, the forest gave us the perfect warm, low light that wrapped everything in a soft, golden glow. Our goal was to create a scene that felt timeless yet fresh, with an elevated editorial look that still carried all the magic of a real wedding day.
The Couple: Emily & Ben
Our model couple, Emily and Ben, brought so much warmth and authenticity to the shoot. Emily wore a gorgeous floral blush wedding gown rented from The Hive Rentals, and she absolutely floated through the forest. Her stunning hair and makeup were done by Noelle of Viva La Glam Services, who created a soft, romantic look that complemented the dress beautifully.
The Details: Curated & Dreamy
The setting was filled with thoughtful, luxurious details that elevated the entire aesthetic:
Florals by Laura at Simply Slutes Designs added whimsical elegance with lush arrangements full of texture and movement.
Tableware with gold accents from The Vintage Table Co. brought a refined touch to the tablescape.
Chairs and tables from Detroit Chiavari tied everything together with classic sophistication.
Every piece was chosen with intention—and together, it created a scene that felt straight out of a dream.
Why This Shoot Meant So Much
Hosting this editorial with Coldwater Studio was such a proud and joyful moment. It wasn’t just about beautiful images—it was about creative collaboration, building community, and showing what’s possible when passionate vendors come together to create something unforgettable.
A huge thank you to every vendor who made this shoot come to life. You made the forest feel like a fairytale, and I’m so honored to have worked alongside each of you.
