A Dark Romance Wedding

Audrey was adamant on the phone: I would like to get married to my soulmate, Sebastian, under the moonlight”. Her vision was a Dark Romance Wedding. Totally my jam!

She also wanted to honor her Grandmother who sadly passed. She had a very special relationship with her and asked if we could go to the cemetery and capture this moment with her Grandpa. It was touching and I was grateful I could capture this intimate moment.

Audrey and Sebastian didn’t opted for a first look. When Sebastian saw Audrey walking down the aisle, his face was glowing with love. Every eyes in the crowd got teary! It was a beautiful wedding, with a very particular vision!

Here is a couple of tips to help you achieve this look at your wedding. Remember, your dark romance wedding should reflect your unique style and personality as a couple. Don't be afraid to experiment with different elements to create a wedding that truly reflects your love and commitment to each other.

Creating a dark romance wedding can be a unique and memorable way to celebrate your love.

Choose a bold color palette: A dark romance wedding is all about embracing the darker side of romance. This can be achieved by incorporating bold and rich colors such as black, deep red, burgundy, purple, and dark green. Use these colors in your decor, floral arrangements, and attire to create a dramatic and moody atmosphere.

“Margot is amazing! My husband and I were married November 2021. We had 3 months to plan our wedding, so I was VERY worried about being able to find the right vendor to capture the special moments of our day. I am so happy I found Margot. After our initial meeting, all my worries were completely gone.

In addition to planning our wedding within a short time frame, we also wanted to have an evening wedding AND I wanted to take photos at the cemetery to honor my grandma. Other photographers I came in contact with would not support our wishes, were not easy to get in contact with and one even tried to convince me to change my wedding timeframe because they didn’t want to take evening pictures.

I’m so happy I didn’t settle and that I continued to search until I found Margot. She is so kind, professional, easy to talk to, responsive and creative. She made the entire process seamless, trouble-free and enjoyable.

She was upfront about costs, when to pay, how to pay, and what was included in the cost.

Prior to the big day we discussed a tentative timeframe, what groups photos were a must to have, and mapped out the day.

Day of the wedding she was on-time (maybe even a little early), so helpful, and our families and guests loved her! She even was able to get one of my dogs (I have two rescues, one is very skeptical and fearful of people) to warm up to her and she got some great pictures of them.

I wish I could truly convey how wonderful it was to have her as our photographer. My husband and I planned our entire wedding without the help or support of a coordinator. Some vendors were stressful to communicate with, but I had zero worries or issues with Margot. She does amazing work, she’s so cool - you wont regret hiring her for your special event.”

Incorporate Gothic elements: Adding Gothic elements to your wedding can help to create a dark and romantic atmosphere. Consider incorporating elements such as ornate candelabras, dark lace, black candles, wrought iron accents, and velvet fabrics into your decor. You can also add a touch of vintage charm with antique decor and furniture.
