The deeper I get into this work, the more I fall in love with the art of the vision itself. Last September, I stepped into the role of creative director for an editorial that felt as grounded as it was expressive. This shoot—featured in Together Journal—was created in collaboration with the incredible team at Magnolia Wedding Company, and together, we leaned fully into an aesthetic that felt earthy, sculptural, and asymmetrical. It was more than just a beautiful setup—it was a reflection of where my heart has been pulled lately: into the world of editorial wedding photography, where intentional design meets emotional storytelling and every frame is crafted with care.
I’ve always loved photographing thoughtful details, but lately, I’ve been finding so much joy in being on the other side of the vision—dreaming up the aesthetic, leading the direction, and watching a story take shape before the shutter ever clicks.
A Vision Rooted in Texture, Movement, and Meaning
We approached this shoot like building a visual installation—one that felt natural, but not accidental. The ceremony space featured ghost chairs, chosen specifically to let the floral structure shine. The install itself was intentionally asymmetrical, almost as if it were growing up from the ground, soft and imperfect in the best way.
The tablescape was a collected mix: vintage-inspired place settings, a patterned linen that pooled onto the ground, and thoughtful layering in each detail. Nothing matched perfectly—yet everything belonged. That blend of editorial intention and natural ease is exactly what draws me to this kind of work.
Why Editorial Wedding Photography Speaks to Me
This shoot wasn’t about trend. It was about creative freedom—and trusting the design to guide the emotion. More and more, I find myself drawn to editorial wedding photography because it allows space to pause, feel, and create art that reflects the couple, not just the moment.
It’s photography rooted in storytelling. Focused on texture, movement, and emotion. Less about a shot list—and more about a mood.
I love when a photo doesn’t just show you what happened. It shows you how it felt.
Why Editorial Shoots Matter for Couples
Styled editorials are more than vendor play—they’re idea incubators. They push creative boundaries and show couples what’s possible. If you’ve ever seen something and thought, “I didn’t even know a wedding could look like that,”—chances are, it started with an editorial like this.
These sessions bring to light design ideas, layouts, and visual textures you might not have imagined yet—things like asymmetrical florals, sculptural tablescapes, or vintage-style layering in a modern setting. It’s inspiration you can adapt, make personal, and use to shape a day that looks and feels like you.
