Okay first of all how. fucking. beautiful. is Kasey! This girl has eyes for daaaaaaaaays.
So this was a fun, little collaboration I had the amazing chance to be a part of. The theme was Modern Bride and geez whizz everyone, please, PLEASE let this trend happen. If ya looking for some wedding inspo start right here. Everything about this look was so refreshing and just to die for. The dress, the jewellery, the hair, the make up, just everything. I was swooning the whole shoot. Also I take no credit for this look, this was all the stunning work of Jeanette, Justine, Kasey, Vanee and Luci or as I like to call them The Dream Team.
Before this shoot I hadn’t taken any photos in months so it was such a phenomenal feeling to have created something again, and to have done it with such talented people as well was just the cherry on top. This was a much needed boost.

So one of the biggest thing that I always advocate for, and super thankful to have in my life, is to have a great support system. For me that support system are my close friends. It’s so important for me to have to a person or group of people in my life that I can talk to about anything and everything. Someone to unload all my thoughts and feelings, all my angst and triumphs, all fears and joy without any walls or notion of rejection or embarrassment. It’s not even about problem solving just having someone there to listen does a world of help for my mental state.

And yes, if you’re wondering, I am still just as hip to the hop as I was in high school.
So I have photographed couples either near the beach or over looking the beach about a billion times but never actually on the beach. And I tell ya what, I don’t think I can ever go back. The feeling of soft sand between my toes, the calming sound of the waves folding over one another, that faint taste of sea salt in the air, all the magical things about the beach that makes this summer shoot that much more wild and intimate.
