As self-confessed Swifties, Pauline and Emman’s pre-wedding shoot was a dream straight out of Taylor Swift’s “Folklore,” especially channeling the cozy, timeless vibe of the “Cardigan” music video. Set outdoors and in a setting resembling a quaint cabin in the woods, their photos embraced the cottagecore trend with a Valentine’s twist—think lots of autumn-like leaves, soft sweaters, and a snug, storybook setting.
They wandered through the trees and cuddled up in the cabin, all decked out in muted, earthy tones that screamed cozy fall days. The cabin itself was a haven of vintage charm, with old wooden furniture, flowy fabrics, and clusters of candles that cast a warm, inviting glow. It felt like each photo captured a bit of their own love story, mixed with the romantic, old-school charm of Taylor’s song about a love that keeps coming back.
The shoot was simple yet emotive, filled with fun little moments that showed how much they enjoy being together—laughing under the canopy of leaves and sneaking kisses surrounded by candlelight.
These stunning photos by Mico Studios linger in our minds, just like a tattoo kiss, capturing that sweet feeling of finding your favorite old sweater, or in their case, your favorite person, and never letting go—a perfectly romantic visual narrative just in time for Valentine’s Day. Take a look below and fall in love all over again!
