Sleeping Beauty Inspired Bridal Shoot {Kait Winston Photography}

I’m a fairytale fanatic if there ever was one, and so I love all of the recent remakes of the classics (and boy do I look forward to ABC’s Once Upon a Time each week!). This month I’m excited for the release of Maleficent (5/30/14) and fell in love with Kait Winston’s vision of Sleeping Beauty in this styled bridal shoot. Their model Kat Rhodes also shares a love of Sleeping Beauty’s story and channeled Aurora’s character so beautifully. The soft makeup and romantic blush BHLDN gown are perfect for this look. I hope it inspires you to dream and gives you ideas for channeling your favorite fairytale character or your inner Disney princess on your special day.

“I’m in love with the recent releases of classic fairytales transformed into live action movies. I am a sucker for the old school Disney films, but Snow White and the Huntsman, and now Maleficent are reinforcing my obsession with the world of make believe. They have transcended from the world of my childhood to the adult me, and the stronger female leads are such a refreshing experience. It makes me appreciate each story even more, from so many different perspectives.”

“There is something enchanting about creating a shoot inspired by the fairytale world that seamlessly connects art and bridals in such a way that refreshes my style on a consistent basis. Drawing from my love of those childhood princesses and appreciation for the new renditions, this shoot came to life after several months of planning, and mostly waiting for a gorgeous spring day to really make it something special.”
