Hello beautiful bride 🤍🕊️
This series of portraits was taken before she said yes 🪽 I deliberately chose to do in it in black and white, because I didn’t want any color to be distracting from the raw emotions she was showing. Since she’s so discreet, the black and white just drives the focus more intensely. I think she came out beautifully, and it was such a perfect moment to be sharing with her, to help her get ready, and knowing she made her wedding dress herself was honestly spectacular.
Barbara, what have you done 💕
It is wild to be a millennial and hit your thirties, and then people like your best friend suddenly become an “adult” overnight basically, and get hitched ! Like I’m sorry, I kinda missed the memo on that one… I’m not aware we’re out of teenage-hood yet, but hard reality slap 😂😭 thanks for that !
No seriously, I am beyond proud and happy for her. This photoshoot was so special, because we escaped the wedding festivities, so she could take a breather, and walk in this beautiful countryside that’s surrounding the place. In the moment she was a fairy to me, wearing this mini dress that she made herself, and I just had this Lykke Li – I Follow Rivers song playing in the back of my mind, watching her basically flying off her feet from happiness, and I just started snapping a few shots to really immortalize this beautiful moment.
I think I caught her just like she always was, and forever will be, a true wild forest spirit 🩷
