Bridal styled shoot in the Arizona desert

A Bridal styled shoot in the desert, imagined and photographed by Erica Kay Photography

Today I wanted to share with you these beautiful images from a bridal styled shoot in the Arizona desert I participated in this past spring, featuring the ombré Helianthus wedding dress.

I visited the area a few years ago, but it was the dead of winter and the scenery was quite different. Hues of grey, pinkish haze, stones and the geometric cacti dominated the horizon, where in these photos everything is green, alive, vibrant, and full of the energy of spring bursting alive. The light and florals matched the fire tones of the dress perfectly, and the resulting photos are breathtaking.

I am particularly in love with the bouquet by Butterfly Petals, the use of foliage and succulents is so interesting and beautiful.
