This ultimate bohemian wedding for Brittany + Myles is both personal and packed with a blend of boho and eclectic details.

Read MoreThese autumnal hues are what we love most about fall right? Because they are what ignite the senses with a desire for cozy nights by the fire with hot cider in hand, crisp evening walks with crunchy leaves underfoot, the scent of apples, pumpkins, and roasted root veggies in our ovens...
Read MoreVale + Vine is wrapping up the week with a sumptuous spring garden shoot by Melissa Gidney Photography featuring luxe gowns and accessories in a stately outdoor setting. With several outdoor looks to choose from, these slim, elegant gowns work well in a garden setting, offering ease of movement that a ballgown-style skirt would not, however, their ornate trimmings reinforce their identity as anything but simple sheaths...

As I sifted through these lovely images from Jenna Hill Photography, I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like for someone 75 years from now to stumble upon this collection--bound in a handcrafted album or lovingly set in a keepsake box--and spend an afternoon reflecting on the love shared here, the beauty of Zoe + Scott's wedding day, and the artistry that allowed these moments to be captured and preserved.
