Whilst many of you are looking forward to a long Summer, here in New Zealand it’s Winter and I am already dreaming of Spring! And what could be better to brighten a somewhat blustery day than a stunning Spring wedding styled shoot from the ridiculously talented (and not to mention lovely) Nadia Meli…..

Featuring a stylish groom and a bride wearing a lace wedding dress from Sheurina, with beautiful bridal makeup and the most elegant of updos by Melanie Elgert; I rather like to imagine it as a heavenly elopement! After all, all you really need for a wedding is a bride and groom….although the meadow blanketed in flowers and the blossom filled branches of the trees at venue Kitzlein certainly adds a little extra romance to these exquisite portraits.

I am so chuffed to be sharing this romantic Spring wedding shoot with you today, because not only are the images utterly dreamy, but they were also captured at one of Nadia’s recent workshop. You see Nadia is not only an incredible photographer (if you need more evidence just take a peek here or on her website) she is also a teacher; sharing her knowledge, talent and vision through uniquely personal and inspiring workshops. Before I let Nadia tell you a little more about them though, let me share just some of her beautiful photos with you…..

If you pop across to Nadia’s website you will find more from this magical workshop shoot, as well as links to the blogposts of all the lucky attendees. Or to see more of her work here on Chic Vintage Brides, take a peek at this dreamy destination wedding in the hills of Tuscany.

Just before you go, a few words from Nadia about what makes her workshops so unique “I just have to say it: I love my workshops. I love the people it brings together and what happens to them during it. It is so special to see strangers become friends in the matter of 2 days, through laughter, tears and sharing. Some of them have organized reunions already , I will even be at one in December!

My Workshops are not for everyone. They are for people who are brave enough to be challenged, ready to question themselves and their decisions and willing to dig deep. All in the name of finding their OWN vision and path for their art and their business – I don’t want mini-mes. I want photographers to find their own voice as an artist! I believe that your own voice, your own vision and your own style makes you a happier, more fulfilled, better photographer and business owner.”

If you would like a more in depth explanation you will find one here, or to find out more about dates for coming workshops you’re best to follow Nadia on Facebook and Instagram to be the first to hear of new dates – her next one in October is already sold out!
