We’re so excited to bring you one of our recent styled shoots today on the blog! What does it mean to throw a wedding when you live a completely curated life, when everything you own has to be both functional and connectional? Nomadic Romance is a collaboration between several wedding industry vets that imagines what creating your perfect day might entail when needing to draw from your possessions and the space around you to celebrate. It takes a strong woman to live that kind of lifestyle, and the beauty she sees in the world grounds and sustains her.

There’s a mystique that surrounds marriage: two people committing to each other with the full knowledge and acceptance that though they don’t know what life together will hold, they are excited about the possibilities and committed to exploring them. That’s what led the shoot planner, our own Sarah White, to imagine the type of woman who’s an explorer at heart; in love and at one with the earth she lives off of, and trusting it to provide all the beauty necessary for the backdrop on her special day. After recruiting an amazing team to flesh out the plan, the shoot came together seamlessly, with even Mother Nature eventually cooperating long enough to shoot outdoors, where that connection is most vital and real.

Why do you think your clients hire you?

I think our clients hire us because we love what we do. We love everything vintage and truly want their wedding to be the best, most beautiful day ever.

What do you love most about weddings?

We love the little moments during the hustle and bustle when you stand back, say a prayer for the couple, and feel all the love that surrounds them. What an honor it is being a part of their special day!
