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 🩷
Last post on my Switzerland trip !
Oh my gosh, I’m so nostalgic… I’ve literally had the best time. I mean it was beautiful, the mountain sightings were breathtaking ! My best friend took me to see some amazing things I will never forget. The air was so pure up there, it was delightful to feel connected to nature like this, and appreciate its wonders.
I’m hoping I can go to her again soon, I know she’ll come visit me in Paris, but I want another Swiss road trip ! Let’s pray that my recovery speeds up and well 🙏
We’re in the city of Chur !
We were so lucky that it was so sunny that day. This little place in the middle of the mountains was cute, filled with medieval buildings, vintage shops and magic spots. We had a great time exploring it.
I just love these road trips with my best friend… I could go anywhere with her ! We’ve actually been planning a big-ass US road trip, I’m not gonna tell you more about it except that I can’t wait until we’ve filled our savings for that travel. It’s gonna be a blast, I just know it. And so it.
My bestie decided on the most amazing road trip !
She took me through the mountains to Sargan’s Castle, where the view was absolutely breathtaking… but the way to get there, it was also quite frankly incredible. Switzerland must be the most beautiful country I’ve ever visited. I’m so lucky that my best friend lives here, and whenever I get to visit her then we go explore the magic ✨
After that little pit stop, we went to the famous Bad Ragaz town. They have a 5 stars resort there, under Swiss standards, it is impressive. I was completely blown away by the place. Not only do they have the usual casino, spa, thermal baths and what not, but also Moët & Chandon champagne bottles available in vending machines… I’m not joking.
Super classy and luxurious. But also art-oriented, there are sculptures made of wood that look so human-like, you wonder if they’re alive. The parks are also pleasant, and overall this road trip was my fave 🤍
