Bring Morocco to You with this Street Market-Inspired Elopement

Moroccan Market Inspiration

Where oh where in the world to elope? Once you decide to get away, the possibilities are endless! Unless, of course…a ticket across the world isn’t in the budget. But wait! If the magical streets of Morocco are calling your name, we’ve got great news: this inspired elopement is all about transporting you there, to that vibrant feast for the eyes! Maddox & Rose began with a blank canvas (in Louisville, Kentucky—you’d never guess it!) and designed an experience akin to the traditional Moroccan street market. One stand-out detail from the day? The distinct use of light!

The constantly changing light added an extremely unique element to our shoot. The light beaming through the single wall of industrial windows added an aura of mystery to many of the details, with its harsh direct light and looming shadows. Harsh light is often avoided by many photographers, but Susan of Love Hunters embraced the light to highlight and frame the extraordinary details of the hidden market.

Ready to head with us to Morocco? Don’t worry—it’s not too far away!
