Because we love all things lovely here at A Lowcountry Wedding, we decided to give you one heck of a treat this Wednesday morning. It doesn't happen often, but occasionally, we like to take a road trip to share a gorgeous part of the country and today, we are SO excited to share this breathtaking California Bridal Shoot at Chino Hills Heaven's Ranch from A&L Photographers.

From A&L Photographers: "We recently were able to create a fall-styled photo shoot at the gorgeous Chino Hills Heaven’s Ranch. Our model, Aire Sirvaitis, wore a vintage wedding dress along with a handmade headpiece and a breathtaking bouquet of fresh flowers, compliments of Floral Fields. Aire’s hair and makeup was done by Rachel from Radiant Artistry. Throughout the photo shoot, we used an array of props and locations that allowed us to portray the look of fall. This included an old country swing, which we wrapped with fall colored leaves and flowers. We also introduced a wonderful horse and had golden hills provide a natural backdrop for this styled fall story.

Two different dresses were used during our photo shoot, which were along the lines of the 2014 fall bridal trends. One was a long dress that had billowy sleeves with lace details on the end. The dress had a lot of lace detail along the edges and a scoop neckline. The shorter dress was above the knee and had a more modest neckline and lace sleeves that weren’t quite see-through. The mock neckline included some of the same lace used on the sleeves to go to the base of the neck. There was also a cinch waistline to the simple white dress. We paired the white dress with brown boots, providing a very rich southern look and a nice contrast."
