5 Tips on Inspiration for a Forest Inspired Engagement Shoot
1) Pick the Location: Make sure you pick a place that has plenty of light, security and is regularly sprayed for bugs. We love outdoors in the South but definitely not bugs.
2) Select a Photographer: Make sure to select a photographer who focuses on a natural style of photography and has experience taking pictures in the elements because you never know what may pop up in the woods.
3)Select a Color Theme: A color theme is a great way to create a look for your shoot and to determine your style as a couple. Incorporate these colors into your makeup, outfits, and decor.

Michiel is a Black Southern Belle living a lowcountry life. I love all things fashion, home decor and southern! When I am not running around doing fun stuff for Black Southern Belle, I live in antique stores and have a minor obsession with historic homes :)
