BTS of our Naturally Wild Styled Shoot at the Zoo

Monkeys, zebras, giraffes…oh my!

The sun was strong, the humidity was thick, and the day was absolutely stunning! It couldn’t have gone better, and we have our incredible wedding dream team to thank. Whether your heart dances for animals, you’re hunting for a unique venue, or if you simply enjoy browsing through pretty photos––you’re in the right place.

We’re taking you inside the gates of Como Zoo to give you the behind-the-scenes look at yet another Forever Bride styled shoot.

Our mouths were watering this whole entire scene! But can you blame us?! Lancer Catering is incredible and not only prepares the most delicious food, but creates food worth photographing! (And shall we say…Instagram worthy?)
