We had the amazing opportunity to work with Elegant Bride Magazine to style a faux wedding for their summer issue which hit newsstands this week. We flew out to Paradise Island in The Bahamas for a week in March with the fabulous crew from Elegant Bride and photographer Jonny Valiant and his team. Our shoot took 4 very long days which started at 5 am to get the perfect lighting at sunrise. Everything took place at the One and Only Ocean Club which is an amazing property with some of the nicest staff on the island. We flew the majority of the decor and props from the states but used a lot of items we found around the hotel and from the local rental company.
Below is the magazine spread but we also wanted to share the behind the scenes photos so you can see the process. It was a great experience and we would like to thank all our friends at Elegant Bride for the opportunity.
