There’s something undeniably captivating about the way modern minimalism can be softened by the wild, organic beauty of nature. And today’s styled shoot, planned by the talented team at Alice Heydon Events and captured with artistry by The Art of Us Photography, is a celebration of just that – where clean, contemporary lines meet lush greenery and thoughtful, sustainable design.

Set at Photofinity Studios, this shoot featured a crisp white backdrop, softened by flowing draped fabric from Chandelabra, to create an airy canvas that allowed every detail to breathe. The visual design, led by Tutu Events, placed sustainability at the very core. Potted plants from The Botanic Edit, arranged in varying textures and heights, replaced traditional florals – a fresh, modern alternative that felt both timeless and kind to the planet.

The styling struck a delicate balance between refinement and ease. Natural wood chairs and black tableware from Bryan Was Here Furniture and Side Serve lent earthy warmth and stunning contrast, while slender white taper candles glowed softly against linen from Table Linen Co. The result was a tablescape that felt luxurious yet grounded, refined yet relaxed!

The eco-conscious ethos continued throughout every detail of the shoot. Our model, Shakira Petropoulos, wore ethically sourced gowns and vintage accessories, with hair and makeup artistry by Shane Brian and Courtney Sharp Artistry. Every choice was intentional – from stationery by Paper & Bloom, designed to minimise waste, to a delicately modern wedding cake by This Dark Cherry, as artful as it was mindful. Even the menu was carefully considered, celebrating locally grown, seasonal produce.

Together, these thoughtful touches created a vision that inspires couples to craft celebrations that honour not only their love story but also the earth. This shoot is a testament to the fact that weddings can be as sustainable as they are stylish, as personal as they are luxurious!
