Orange County Wedding Photographer:: Bridal Style, "Lauren"

As mentioned, something I really want to focus on this month is inspiration. For this shoot, I made all the calls, instead of working with a typical client. This means I do the styling, I choose the venue, the model, and I set the tone and feel for the entire shoot. It's a time of ideal expression! 

I dreamt of two different scenarios for my "Lauren" photo shoots. One, being completely underwater, dreamy, and low maintenance (part one). And the other in a dry, arid, space, rustic, and warm (part two). I liked the idea of contrast, and the juxtaposition of both spaces, yet wanted to have continuity with using the exact same model, dress, props, etc.

The underwater shots were my FAVORITE, which is why I am posting them first. :)  I am an absolute water girl---I love being in water, I love the colors water makes, I love listening to water, I love the feel of water. . .And with this shoot, I loved being able to see underwater. I remember coming home from school when I was small, jumping in the pool with goggles, and being so in awe of the way the sunlight created such beautiful effects on the pool walls. I just can't get enough. :) 


Here's a bit of that magic in effect! Enjoy! 

Yes, please. Seriously.
