Christmas Inspired, DIY Styled Shoot (Columbia, SC)

As told by D’Attoma Studios: As a photographer, I’d always wanted to do a styled wedding shoot. I contacted Callie Bell who is an aspiring model and decided to ask Kenyatta to be the groom, who had never modeled before. I thought it would bring a realistic aspect to the shoot, and they both connected and had a wonderful time together – and it showed. I decided to plan a Christmas inspired, DIY shoot, complete with a poinsettia bouquet, evergreen springs in the bride’s hair, a rustic woodsy setting, and to contrast, a sparkly reception tablescape in the middle of the woods. We worked with some amazing vendors who donated everything from the wedding gown, engagement rings, cake table and more. I am proud of the finished product and hope that our brides can use these ideas to implement into their own wedding plans!
