Calling this inspiration shoot from The Reflections Studio and The Glen Venue “Traditional” seems almost inadequate. Here, the backdrop of the pristinely maintained grandeur of the Linwood House and immaculate landscaping of the estate play host to a gorgeous bride and groom taking the next step in their lives together.
However, what is more traditional than love? The bride radiates in white as she maneuvers through the idyllic table setting with the hand-crafted wedding cake and artfully arranged floral bouquet all captured in an all too perfect for words fashion by the photographer, Anne Moshier. Anne Moshier, of the Reflections Studio, located in Macclenny, FL offers a very artistic and unique take on every wedding. Whether it be local in Florida, across the country or even internationally. As showcased in this inspiration shoot, she is known for the romantic bride and groom photos. Taking the time prior to the wedding or the engagement shoot, she will work with couples on posing, so that when the big day arrives the comfort level allows the couple to be truly engrossed in the moment but still able to capture that amazing photograph. “Special requests are my forte – I love fun and different ideas,” says Moshier.
“I believe every bride is special. I “spoil” my brides and help them plan other details of their wedding aside from the photography aspect.” – Anne Moshier
The Glen Venue offers no shortage of unique photo and wedding opportunities. The property features three main houses, The Mathis, The Steele and The Linwood, each with their own individual character and appeal. In recent years, for outdoor ceremonies the towering oak tree has become a bride favorite. Much of the property can be traced back to the late 1800s and when you drive up, under the canopy of trees it is almost as if you have, in fact, been transported back in time. It is easy to see why so many couples choose the location for a timeless wedding and with photographers like The Reflections Studio, they are photos that will last a lifetime.

all things ring 2014
Looking for an engagement ring that will always be in style? While engagement rings never seem to go out of style anymore, today ’s engagement and wedding rings are ramping up the bling with encrusted diamonds on either side of the center stone and contining on the wedding band. The Victorian look is definitely in and white seems to be the preferred color over yellow gold‌at least for now.

North Central Florida Bride 2014
Engagement rings come in a variety of styles, according to industry experts. Diamond solitaire with one diamond; novo with one center diamond and smaller diamonds around the band; the very popular halo with a center diamond with smaller diamonds around the center stone and perhaps more diamonds encrusted on the band; cathedral with its center diamond and graceful style; trellis design featuring stylized prongs to wrap the main stone tightly in place. Last but not least by any means, is the Victorian, vintage style with its intricate and considerable placement of diamonds on the band of the wedding and engagement ring. This style is seeing an overwhelming revival in today ’s trends.
