Sometimes when you’re driving in California, you just have to pull off on the side of the road to capture something like this! And I literally mean: “Do you see that cliffside? That light! Ah! Girls, PULL OVER!” // And five minutes later, Caitlin is doing her makeup and putting on one of the most breathtaking Enaura Bridal gowns that I’ve ever seen! We made a bouquet of handpicked rosemary that was growing in a field… and then we photographed it all as the sun was fading over the ocean!
This trip was my third time working with my friends at Enaura Bridal and I am still in shock that they shipped six designer gowns from New York City all the way to Los Angeles for us to use along our road trip! At first, we thought that we would use them once for our primary Editorial Shoot in Santa Barbara (that I will be sharing in a few weeks), but it quickly evolved into photographing one gown each day as we made our way up the coast! We had such an extraordinary time photographing along the coastal cliffsides and capturing some of my favorite images to date!
And isn’t Caitlin a stunning model? Yes. I’m absolutely in love!
There are many more glimmers of our trip to come in the next few weeks. Yay!
