An iconic sailboat wedding editorial on the serene waters of Lake Erie. My first ever editorial came to life back in July and it was one for the books. There was so much joy from working with incredibly talented vendors, to the models, to everyone involved - I seriously could not have asked for a better day.


Across the Sea was inspired by the beauty of the ocean coast - and being a girl who lives in Ohio, well.. our options were limited. When I learned a family friend was able to supply a sailboat I knew I just had to make this concept come to life. Working with Anna, we dreamt up the beautiful florals and textures that would bring this editorial together. Sir'Quora and Armani were just the cherry on top and paired so beautifully together.


We started docked on the marina and got some beautiful shots of Sir'Quora in AW's Bridal Wear and moved out into the open waters shortly after. We were able to watch the sunset before our eyes and honestly just enjoy the scenery. As someone who truly just loves the environment of the coast, I loved being able to showcase the idea couple's could get while planning their day.  A huge thank you to every single human to made this shoot possible. It is one I wish forever cherish.
