Michael Bennett Kress Photography shared his sultry style in this Rockland Estates Wedding Styled Shoot! “My visual goals for this shoot were to create an essence of relaxed laid-back romance in a beautiful setting. We aimed to define them as the non-traditional couple. Using the vintage couch in an unconventional location, for example, helped give us the feel of a serious look in an un-serious setting. To give them a rebel, non-traditional attitude, we had them doing unconventional things you wouldn’t normally do on your wedding day; running, hopping fences, letting the bride’s hair down, grabbing pitchforks, jumping in the back of trucks. The element of lighting was very important: by waiting for the late afternoon lighting, we were able to enhance the mood and highlight the florals to give a “stolen moments” effect.”
