An Alternative Bridal Session with Valentine

I’ve had an eye on my neighbor’s magically overgrown backyard as a potential shoot location, it’s full of nasturtium, blackberry brambles, and trees in desperate need of a good pruning. Model and artist Valentine is one of the most adventurous models I know, and she didn’t hesitate once to crawl through all kinds of overgrowth for our time together. The flowers are from Mille Fiori, a small flower stand on Piedmont Ave in Oakland which has some of the best prices on quality blooms in Oakland. Our concept for this session was a gothy alternative bridal summer look.

 

 

You can check out Valentine on her Instagram (Heads up, some of her other work is a little less clothed than this session! ) or reach her via twitter if you’re interested in booking.

Website Update

You may notice a new look to this site, I finally was able to update around here with the help of the immensely talented Kristen Adam of RococonouveauDesign. Let me know what you think, hopefully it’s now easier to find my wedding portfolio, featured posts, and connect via Facebook, Twitter, and read my reviews on Yelp.

Now that this is complete, I have a ton of new images to share from this year’s weddings. Here’s a sneak peek at one, Kara and Scott’s lovely Pt. Reyes outdoor ceremony.
