Lauren

lauren's on-line proofing website

lauren is getting married in january but knew she wanted a bridal editorial for just over a year now. she talked about her engagement with her fiance, blake and radiated when she told us how he proposed...at the gardens of the world in thousand oaks, ca.




now, there was never a second thought where she wanted to take her bridal portrait. the very pleasant, considerate and compassionate people at the garden allowed for us to photograph on property...but for 10mins. great things happen when your heart is in your throat and is pumping at 10000000/ps. to date, lauren's bridal portrait has to be one of the easiest, most natural, unscripted, high engery moments in most recent memory. again, we are given opportunities that sometimes are given to us at a moments notice. what we do with those opportunities determines our direction at an even greater speed and altitude.




after the session we made one more stop. something that i noticed a few months back and wanted to photograph. having the good spirit and willingness from lauren made it the ideal portrait setting. one thing thou...the light was changing rapidly and the ideal spot was down a muddy slope into a ravine on a bed of boston ivy.


the result is breathtaking.
