Traci Hines [1], a real-life hipster Ariel, marries her own Prince Eric in this epically creative and stylish beach wedding shoot [2] inspired by The Little Mermaid [3]. Seriously, from the bride's dip-dyed gown to the tutu-clad bridesmaids — and don't even get me started on the shimmery tablescapes adorned with ocean-themed delicacies — this is the sort of magical big day Disney dreams [4] are made of. Here's more about the 2014 shoot (which still remains one of our favorites of all time) from the team that put it together:
Many children dream of their future wedding, and most of our romantic notions about love come from childhood dreaming with a cast of fairy tale characters. In the spirit of that romantic nostalgia, we are excited to share this amazing fantasy photo shoot. The vision behind this shoot was to re-create the classic "tail" (pun fully intended) of The Little Mermaid, and transform Ariel (modeled by singer/designer Traci Hines [5]) and Prince Eric (modeled by Leo Camacho [6]), into a modern hipster wedding couple!
See the incredible wedding and get the full list of vendors [7] ahead!
