Snow White and the Huntsman – A Berg Photography Fairytale

We are incredibly excited to share today’s images with you! You see, Kevin and I have been working on a themed photography session for the last several months. We knew we wanted it to be something fun but, most importantly, we wanted it to be “us.” We put a lot of time and effort into this shoot, so we decided from the start that we wouldn’t limit ourselves on how many images we blogged. So you guys are getting a super long blog post today! But, before you can enjoy the images, you need a little backstory…

Because Kevin and I have been inspired by a television show called Once Upon a Time and because we love all things Disney, we decided to shoot a Snow White inspired wedding. I did a little research into the original Snow White fairytale and found out that the Huntsman didn’t kill Snow White (as he was ordered to do by the Evil Queen for those rare people who may not know the story) because he fell in love with her. Well, I like a good underdog…and that’s what the Huntsman was. After all, he wasn’t a prince.  And he didn’t get the girl in the fairytale. So, with my new bias in favor of the Huntsman, here’s where our session went…

What if, after disobeying the Evil Queen’s orders and sending Snow White into the woods to hide, the Huntsman kept an eye on his love from afar to make sure she wasn’t harmed by the Evil Queen? What if he was able to intercept the whole apple exchange that led to Prince Charming finding Snow White? What if…

My guess is that, after being saved from the Evil Queen’s plot for the second time, Snow White fell in love with the Huntsman.  I mean, who doesn’t love a hero?  And, typically after people fall in love, they get married. Here’s what we think their wedding would look like…

The pear in the images below was inspired by Once Upon a Time.  Snow White probably does prefer pears after the apple scare…

This next shot is from Kevin’s view…

And the next two are from mine…(Yes, they’re very similar but we couldn’t decide which we preferred!  So both got blogged!)

We want to send out a special thanks to Brannan and Kandace Jorns for braving the cold to model for this shoot!  And we want to thank the McGowans for inspiring us to do a shoot like this in the first place!  To our readers, we hope you enjoyed looking at our images as much as we enjoyed sharing them!  We hope to do more shoots like this in the future because we learned A TON and we had a blast!
