Today we have something a little different for you, with this incredibly romantic styled wedding shoot set on the tall ship ‘Elissa’.

If you are sea lovers, boat enthusiasts, or have a passion for all things nautical, then you may well have just found the perfect wedding theme for your big day. The dreamy styling of this wedding shoot will give you lots of inspiration and leave you wanting to rush off and find the perfect tall ship for your wedding!

Koby Brown Photography’s images showcase this romantic wedding perfectly…

“Take me to the ocean; Let me sail the open sea. To breathe the warm and salty air, and dream of things to be.” Erica Billups

“A ship captain’s daughter, planning her wedding alongside her childhood friend… choosing elements that highlight her favourite memories of the ship at sea. Tables draped with silk chiffon to blow in the breeze; coral plates with mother-of-pearl and fine crystal and sterling for the place settings; romantic floral hinting at the colours of an ocean sunset; and of course, guests would find their seats by reading the hand written calligraphy on the sails of a model tall ship!

“The Elissa is the last one left of her kind in the world… it’s hard to explain the feeling of stepping onboard — there must be magic in her sails… and there is certainly romance in her air!”
