Gorgeous Victorian Wedding Inspiration + a Workshop Giveaway!

1800s inspired wedding

This dreamy styled shoot from the recent Three Nails Photography workshop draws inspiration from the 1800’s era, with authentic vintage attire + props, like the bride’s lovely jacket, the groom’s awesome top hat + the 120-year-old farm chairs surrounding the reception table. This shoot shares so many great ideas for couples wanting a charming, vintage-inspired wedding. And wait until you see the insanely rad old barn wood wagon built by Hunter of Three Nails! Seriously so amazing!

Three Nails’ concept was to really “follow” a couple; from the moment he saw her on her farm to their run-away wedding. You can watch the story unfold in this fun video from Psycle Films:
