Loud Love. Wild Details.

This is what happens when wedding tradition gets a technicolor wake-up call.
Inside the sun-drenched glass walls of The Atrium at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, bold romance meets unapologetic queerness in a styled shoot that doesn’t hold back. Forget soft palettes — this one’s drenched in drama, saturated in love and ready to make pastels pack it up. A celebration of color, connection, and identity, it’s everything Pride Month should look like.
The grooms? Impeccably dressed.
The florals? Loud, lush and impossible to ignore.
And then there’s the owl. Yes — an owl.
From mustard blazers to a chameleon named Dude, every detail says one thing loud and clear: love looks better when you do it your way.
The concept? Take up space. Own color. Design a visual story that feels as vibrant and joyful as real love. Golden tones, inky florals, deep greens and jewel-bright accents make up a palette that’s alive with energy — and absolutely unafraid.
Forget soft-focus aesthetics — this is full volume, full feeling, full Pride.
No ordinary styled shoot comes with a guest list like this. Thanks to NOVA Parks’ Roving Naturalist, the shoot featured an unexpected but iconic supporting cast: a chameleon named Dude, an owl named Smoke, and even a snake (handled with more grace than expected). The models embraced the wild energy with ease, blending editorial beauty with untamed whimsy.
The result? Visually arresting. Perfectly weird. Wildly wonderful.
This one's for the couples who want their weddings to reflect who they actually are—color, texture, identity, and all. It’s not about fitting into the box. It’s about kicking it over and building something better.
So, wear the gold jacket. Bring the owl. Hold your partner’s hand and don’t let go.
Love deserves to be seen—and this shoot proves it can be stunning.
