I don’t often shoot editorials with the full team on board, but when I do, it’s always such a joy – especially when so many talented people are involved. This shoot is an ode to Edwardian bridal elegance, told in two chapters: one bathed in soft light, the other wrapped in deeper, shadowed tones. Without a grand location to anchor us, we embraced simplicity – letting texture, tone, and detail tell the story instead. Everything was captured on medium-format Kodak Portra 400 film and beautifully developed and scanned by Canadian Film Lab, whose craftsmanship brought every nuance to life.
