Felien told Insider she was inspired by the classic beauty of Regency-era romance, and she thought the aesthetic of the series would translate well for a wedding.
The shoot was themed around the show.

“There is something so special when somebody is genuinely in love with the other person that you can’t really replicate,” Felien said of photographing a real couple.
Their love shined through.
