There are many, many wonderful things about this rustic, wintry wedding inspo shoot, first among them that the beautiful blush Jemma wedding gown featured is actually the photographer’s wedding dress! How sweet and special is that?

We’re firm believers that gowns once worn can be worn again (or repurposed)! So, not only does photographer Beth Joy get major props for her creative chops (and for being so in love with her wedding gown), but also for being so inventive with the dress she chose to shoot.

Captured at Nixon Farms, a picturesque barn venue outside of Ann Arbor, this shoot has such a fresh mix of textiles and style! Also, it’s hard not to fall for a faux fur wrap paired with a wedding dress. Scroll down to see the rest of the editorial below.
