Rock N Roll Inspirational Wedding Shoot


"This Rock and Roll Alternative inspirational wedding shoot was inspired by the town of Costa Mesa, California and the people who make Orange County what it is. The shoot took place at the Westside Museum whose slogan is, "Keep Mesa Cool". And that is exactly what Monge Amore Events and our creative team of vendors are doing with this moody, alternative wedding. We wanted to embody the artistic, somewhat grungy vibe of the area and the people who reside here. The two love birds inspired our shoot. Ben and Madeline are in a local band together, and Ben is the curator of "I heart Costa Mesa", a local online publication that features artists and events in the area. The couple embodies the artistic edge that this wedding shoot brought to life. Both with past modeling experience, and an interests in all things creative were the perfect couple to carry the vision to fruition. The blank industrial space is perfect for creatives with an eclectic inspiration for their wedding decor. Monge Amore Events and Sarah Mack Photo  thought of the idea of a bad ass Rock and Roll wedding and ran with it. Our bride was styled in a two piece beaded crop top, an elegant high-waist skirt, and paired with a black leather jacket & leather boots. Sarah Mack Photo styled Madeline's dapper groom in black jeans and a black tee with a vintage jacket and wingtip shoes from Swellegant. Kats Creations Florals designed a beautiful look with dark purple hues in an over-sized bouquet and an abundant table scape. Monge Amore Events, went to town styling the area with candles, cow skulls and a purple ombre lamb skin rug for a vibe that rivals any traditional wedding decor. Tasteful cakes designed an edgy  black, purple, and orange wedding cake that centered the stacked cake table with accent decor stunningly. The invitations designed by The Paper Mint Press paired perfectly with the plums and cherries we used as accent pieces on tableware provided by Baker Party Rentals. All of this combined with a kick ass motorcycle and you have an alternative moody wedding for the ages.​"
