{styled} love is sweet...

 huge thanks to 

Stacy Kokes Photography

for sending this styled shoot over to share via Two Bright Lights.

from Stacy:

"I have a heart for the DIY bride, so when it came time to style a shoot I knew I wanted to cater to her. This ultimately led to the concept for this shoot: an intimate desert wedding with a "love is sweet" undertone. We set up shop in one of my all time favorite desert locations; Scorpion Gulch. What was once a general store in the 1930s, is now a photographer's dream; an abandoned building in the middle of the desert. The exposed wood beam ceilings with light poking through is enough to make any photographer swoon! We decided to go with a short, ivory lace dress for the bride to incorporate a more casual/rustic vibe and a light-colored suit for the groom for the same reason. The bride's bouquet and groom's boutonniere were made entirely of fabric and buttons. The dessert table and 'recipe in a jar' favors served as the cornerstone for the "love is sweet" feel."
