I had the great pleasure of being able to work with Carlos Hernandez, a truly talented film photographer from Portland on this photoshoot. What Carlos and I had originally planned for this shoot changed dramatically at the last minute, but what we ended up with was stunning. Two gowns, and two bouquets--each a perfect match for the other and both looks starkly different and beautifully unique. Kayla Shively created a clean, smoldering look for our gorgeous model and the rest of the day was spent near the waves as Carlos snapped some of the most beautiful film I’ve seen in a long time. Natalya was a natural in the chilly elements, looking as though she had just emerged from the ocean to lure sailors back into the waves with her.
