Secrets of the Anchorage: A Hecate-Inspired Love Story

Step into a world where shadows dance with romance, and ancient magic weaves its way through a love story as timeless as the weathered walls of Anchorage.

A realm of dark romance and ancient magic was captured within the haunted walls of Marietta's historic mansion for the "Secrets of the Anchorage" styled shoot. Inspired by Hecate, the shoot captured a witchy, ethereal wedding, utilizing the mansion's aged grandeur to set a scene where love transcended the ordinary. The bride's getting ready photos, bathed in soft light by an aged window, showcased her vintage cream dressing gown and Savannah Gordon's intricate hair and makeup. To enhance the cozy ambiance of the pre-ceremony tea party, she changed into a cream sweater dress set, perfectly matching the groom's cream fisherman sweater and black slacks.

The elegant tea party, illuminated by candlelight, featured a romantic tablescape with vintage plates, antique keys, and realistic paper moths from Moth & Myre. Sarah of Shaffer Creative Co. crafted florals that evoked ancient forests, and hand pies from Jackie O's Bakery and mead from Westend Ciderhouse added rustic elegance. Dalhia Vintage Rentals provided vintage books, the cloches, candles and holders, and other decor.

The ceremony, held in the grand hall, showcased an epic floral collar worn by the bride. She made a striking vision of dark beauty, reflecting a deep connection to the natural world. The groom wore an elegant black suit, obsidian cufflinks, and a Lily of the Valley brooch that hinted at the mystical undertones of their union. As the sun set over Marietta, the couple ascended to the mansion's tower, witnessing a moment of intimate tranquility.

This shoot, a testament to the power of art and poetry, aims to inspire viewers to embrace unique love stories and find beauty in the shadows, crafting weddings as timeless and enchanting as the secrets held within Anchorage.
