Spanish Styled Shoot at The Abbey on Monroe

Creating a wedding styled shoot is like weaving a dream into reality, where every detail speaks of elegance, romance, and timeless beauty. Recently I had the opportunity to collaborate with a group of immensely talented vendors for a vibrant styled shoot at The Abbey on Monroe in Phoenix, AZ. This historic venue, with its stunning architecture and serene ambiance, served as the perfect backdrop for our vision of a luxurious, modern wedding infused with rich, Spanish inspired colors and flair.

Partnering with Cassandra Nichole Events, we planned every aspect of the shoot to create an atmosphere that was both ethereal and sophisticated, with a lively twist. The Abbey on Monroe provided a stunning canvas, with its classic charm and beautiful lighting, setting the stage for an unforgettable day that celebrated the bold and the beautiful.

The photography for the shoot was handled by Sara Bishop, who captured the essence of our colorful, Spanish inspired theme with every frame. As a photographer and videographer myself, I was excited to work alongside her, capturing the moving moments and intricate details that made the day so special.

Florals played a significant role in bringing our vibrant vision to life. Cheeky Blooms crafted hanging arrangements and centerpieces in hues of deep reds, oranges, and yellows, adding a whimsical yet elegant touch to the venue. Urban Desert Flora created a floral arch and ceremony florals bursting with color and perfectly complementing the venue’s natural beauty.

Meanwhile, Faces by Amelia and Londraa of Caked Glam Co. worked their magic with makeup and hair, ensuring our models looked radiant, with looks that complemented the colorful, Spanish style theme.
