Urban-Elegance, City-Chic -whatever your favorite caption, this styled modern bridal session captures its essence. Decorated with white florals and geometric decor. The Black Pearl is a gorgeous open concept industrial space in Washougal, WA. We used this space for two styled shoots; and bridal session and a wedding (blog post here)!

Details such as visible pipes and cement floors look strikingly beautiful when paired with modern wedding decor. This high-end wedding was decorated with geometric elements, monochromatic florals, and fun copper accents. The result is both gritty and glamorous! So, it’s no wonder industrial-chic weddings are having their moment.

I love the opportunity to do bridal portraits. It’s underrated here in the PNW and I don’t understand why! The bridal portrait session is a “test” for your wedding day. After you get your pictures back from the photographer, you’ll see if adjustments to your makeup, hairstyle, or bouquet are needed. Or you might find you need to alter your dress to fit differently.
