Adventure Wedding Inspiration: Unique & Romantic Cliffside Ceremony

Marriage is a leap of faith, so why not celebrate it in a similar fashion? Sure, it’s easy to get caught up in all the glitz and glamour, but if you could do whatever you wanted, what would you really do? 

Well, Lady Ilg Photography and a team of incredibly talented vendors asked this same question, and this gorgeous adventure inspired shoot was born! It’s ultra romantic and totally unique in every way, and we can't wait to share it all with you!  So get ready to think outside the box, and be sure to check out the entire day for yourself in the full gallery

all about Adventure 

From Lady Ilg PhotographyThe original inspiration from this shoot came from some dance photos I saw on the edge of a cliff. I thought, if models can get up there, why can't brides and grooms get up on rocks and cliffs to get married? I'm all about adventure, not to mention couples who are also up for an adventure, so when we finally decided to go for this shoot, we knew we had to go all out....wedding gown, bouquet, makeup artist, and all.

Out of the ordinary 

To say that this shoot went well is an understatement, I think I can speak for almost all the vendors involved that this shoot was a highlight. We aimed to inspire couples to do what they want to do on their wedding day. To make their wedding become what they want it to become, and to not be afraid to try something different and out of the ordinary.

Feel inspired

I hope this shoot inspires couples to think outside of the box, and to not feel influenced by what everyone else says they "have" to do for their wedding day.
