Devon and Travis at Serra Plaza Bridal Suite

 Serra Plaza in San juan Capistano

 Flowers by French Buckets

 Hair: Diego Ortega

 Make up: Lisa O'Connor

 Photography: Natahanial Kam

I chose Devon a Manual Mota, Pronovias bridal gown specifically for the suite.  The lace, empire waist gown plays well with the suites gray flooring and silver mirrored accents.  I wanted Devon to have an Audrey Hepburn feeling, via My Fair Lady. She is wearing a vintage crown and Antique 1940's earrings from my private collection.  Travis is wearing a classic black Tux.

This is a shoot from November of last year... The brides Marisa gown originally had a blue satin sash but was changed to a pink sash because blue is seen as bad luck.

I was inspired by the the movie "the quiet man" with john wayne and maureen o' hara...  the model has that fiery red hair and alabaster skin... she was the perfect candidate for a Irish maid...
