So I had a bit of an ambitious idea, or at least I thought it was, of putting together a team and going to Italy to photograph a couple in love on a boat while navigating the beautiful coast of Liguria, complete with a perfectly sunny day. I started thinking where to begin to make it happen… Find an in love couple, a make up artist and hair stylist all willing to travel for it, plus a boat, a dress designer to lend me some beautiful dresses… But so it happens that it all came together, and not only that, I was blessed to also have my good friend Krishanthi come along and capture some video footage of the experience! Just like a dream, I couldn’t have wished for a more amazing and perfect team!
All set and we headed off to Liguria where I had the use of a lovely boat, thanks to my dear family and turned what was just an idea into reality.
I am so extremely grateful to the most incredible team! You are simply the best! Thank you for all your enthusiasm, hard work and dedication!
