These photos by Alexander give off an eerie vibe to them, as a harsh red light is used to brighten every photo. The fashion model wears a puffy dress, with a giant head piece that has a veil flowing downwards.

The model has dark lipstick on, where the blurry quality of the photos makes it looks as if she is a [bridal ghost](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1). There are such intricate details on both the [gown and the head piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houghton-x-albright), where pearls and beads are stacked on top of one another. There is also one photo where the model stares at the camera, the backdrop blurred by the flash. A red light still rests on the model's face and hair, but a mysterious blue light highlights the gown.

Overall, these photos by Alexander create [haunted wedding looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouqs-spooky-collection) that shed light on the old and elegant fashions.
