1. Time-Traveling Romance
To capture the essence of Outlander, the shoot was bathed in a color palette of deep, moody greens, blues, and rich reds that resonate with the show’s scenic landscapes and the dramatic Scottish highlands. The bridal bouquet featured red roses, pink and yellow blossoms, and thistles, an homage to Scotland’s national flower
2. Scottish Elegance
The groom’s attire took inspiration from the dashing highland warriors of Outlander. He donned a classic kilt, reflecting the traditional Scottish heritage of the show. The tartan pattern of the kilt connected our shoot to the Scottish heritage of the venue owners.
3. Vintage Touches
To transport the wedding back in time, vintage elements such as candelabras, lanterns, and antique silverware adorned the tablescape. These details evoked the show’s historical setting and the timeless love between Jamie and Claire Fraser.
4. Whimsical Stationery
The invitation suite featured ornate calligraphy, wax seals, and tartan patterns. It was designed to encapsulate the mood and style of the Outlander series, inviting guests to embark on a romantic adventure through time.
The bride’s wedding gown was nothing short of breathtaking. Drawing inspiration from Claire Fraser’s timeless style, the dress featured off the shoulder sleeves, a flowing skirt, and a delicate floral pattern. The beautiful silhouette mirrored the show’s elegant and historic atmosphere. To complete the look, the bride wore a hand-crocheted woolen wrap, similar to the one worn by Claire on the show.
We worked hard to skillfully capture the romance and authenticity of the Outlander-inspired wedding shoot. From stolen glances amidst the rolling hills to intimate moments in the candlelit chapel, each photograph conveyed the passionate love story that defines the show. These timeless images will undoubtedly be cherished for years to come, encapsulating the spirit of Outlander in every frame.
