Winter Days of Heaven Wedding Shoot…

Winter is on its last legs and Spring has almost sprung, but not quite yet, so I wanted to squeeze in one last snowy hurrah! This shoot was sent over by Meg Brock Photography and was inspired by the Terrence Malick film ‘Days of Heaven’. Here’s a bit more from Meg about her inspiration…

“I recently watch the Terrence Malick movie, “Days of Heaven,” a love story that takes place on a farm in 1916. I was very inspired by the films organic, naturally illuminated imagery and wanted to translate some of this imagery into wedding inspiration. By chance, my husband and I discovered a field that closely resembled the movie’s primary location, particularly in the golden light of the afternoon. I collaborated with Cindy (the florist), to create an elegant but unrefined decor that would have been appropriate for the movie’s characters. A coating of snow hit the Philadelphia area the day before the shoot, changing the feel of our location. We came close to canceling the session but ultimately opted to endure freezing temperatures to create some beautiful winter wedding images. Resources for a couple living on a farm in 1916 would be limited, so we used many everyday objects in our decor. I borrowed a rustic, antique table from my parents that was draped with vintage linens and plates. I created plate charger’s with knitting hoops and cheese cloth. Train travel was an element of “Days of Heaven” and I incorporated it into the decor with the seating chart. I used a vintage trunk as a display and vintage post cards as seating cards. I used old fonts and textured papers for the stationary. The floral centerpiece was placed in a vintage chocolate box I bought at a flea market. Cindy also filled teacups and brass gobblers with flowers.”
