The Starting Gate at Great Horse | Massachusetts Wedding Photographer

If you love Horses, New England, Summer Weddings, and Gorgeous Florals this styled Wedding shoot at The Starting Gate is sure to give you inspiration from some of the most talented New England vendors!

This beautiful equestrian elopement took place at one of New England’s most breath taking venues, The Starting Gate at Great Horse. Their outdoor ceremony location is on top of a hill that provides a beautiful overlook of Massachusetts landscape. Earth Blossoms Floral and Event Design did a beautiful job of decorating this space with gorgeous peach florals along with the beautiful peach floral necklace around the horses neck.

Each element to this styled shoot was well thought out by Krista, the photographer and Sarah, the event planner at Brehant Creations to reflect the equine and peach theme. The focus was to showcase local vendors with a unique talent. Whole Weddings provided beautiful stationary that went perfectly with our equine and natural approach. Their stationary is made with wildflower seed paper to give it another life and reduce any waste. Lawless Design created a beautiful wood swing that Earth Blossoms decked out in beautiful florals.

It has been my dream to photograph an equestrian themed shoot. When I found our model, Jordan, and learned that she owned a beautiful chestnut horse I knew that my dream of photographing a bride on a beautiful horse was about to come true! Pairing this chestnut horse with our model in the perfect boho bridal dress from Julie Allen Bridals made for the most breath taking images.

Enjoy!
