If you have ever scrolled Instagram and seen wedding posts or thumbed through a wedding magazine, you have seen a styled shoot! And if you have ever driven around Paradise Valley in Arizona, you know how beautiful and luxurious it is! That is why this day was such a great mix.

What is a styled shoot? Basically, it is just the photo portion of a wedding, not an actual wedding. At this shoot in Paradise Valley, there are no guests, no marriage license but a whole lot of beautiful photos! So, it makes for the best inspiration!

Styled shoots are a great way to showcase vendors, get creative, work with new trends and more! Also, they are a pretty popular thing in the wedding industry. Therefore, that is what makes them great inspiration for real weddings! Want more? See some of these other styled shoots I have photographed, check out this one!

This event was held at the gorgeous and newly remodeled Mountain Shadows Resort in Paradise Valley, Arizona. I shot this wedding inspiration shoot on behalf of the Monique Hessler Weddings team! Full of all the details, florals and beauty of a real wedding! The day started with this beautiful (real life) couple playing Bride and Groom! Also in attendance at this event were an ‘engaged’ couple! And the day ended with a gorgeous girl in a gorgeous gown for a bridal session!

So, without further ado. Enjoy! Oh, and give yourself time to look at all the flowers. The colors were so bright! What a fun pop!

Now, back to the real weddings!
