This Fall/Winter 2024 wedding season, the concept of a Moonlight Bride deviates from typical bridal aesthetics, choosing strong and dramatic imagery that expresses mystery and strength.
Inspired by the shimmer and shadows of moonlight, this style has an ethereal, even cinematic feel that is perfect for the bride eager to make a statement.
This unusual approach differs from traditional bridal shoots by replacing bright, pastel palettes and airy sets with moody lighting and deep, rich tones that heighten the drama of the night.
The end product is a stunning bridal vision that feels both timeless and otherworldly, evoking a sense of power and allure beneath the magic of starry skies.
MOONLIGHT BRIDE BY JESSICA BADER
“The inspiration behind the shoot was to get away from the general photography style for bridal fashion shoots. To do something more strong and dramatic in style. For the shoot style, I also was inspired by moonlight.”
