Our concept for this shoot was bridal fashion. We were so excited about trying some exterior location shots! The threat of rain had us biting our nails (well, me anyway). The weather turned out to be cold and clear – perfect for outdoor shots near the river in Old Sacramento!
This first shot really brings the whole concept together.
The model in this shoot is the beautiful Oceana. This shot also captures the essence of the shoot, and in slightly different, almost softer way.
I love this shot of the bride alone near the train. Oceana did such a great job on this shoot!
Makeup for this shoot was done by the fabulous Ingrid. For this outfit she gave us edgy eyes and lips that really went great with the outfit and caught the look we wanted.
Most of this shoot took place on location in Old Sacramento, but we also got some interior shots in Davis. I just loved the natural light coming in the window near this red wall and wanted to take advantage of it!
One of the tour boats was pulling out when we were near the river. Ken Swanson did a great job lighting this shot and on the whole shoot. Can you tell we used a flash along with the sun?
We had two looks for this shoot. Here we have an almost classical Roman or Greek look. The flower, hair and makeup were all tuned for this more classical look with the long, flowing dress. This soft window light captures the soft fabric of Oceana’s outfit. I love her expression. We got a series of these shots near the window. They are all great. I’ll post the rest in a slide show later this week.
Back to Old Sacramento. Isn’t Oceana great! I just love this last shot!
I will post a slide show of the rest of the shoot later in the week.
