MARIEL HANNAH creates the most beautiful of editorial shoots and whilst it’s not too often that we feature urban shoots this one has the best of both worlds being in New York’s iconic Central Park. As featured in MAGNOLIA ROUGE MAGAZINE, Mariel tells us more about the shoot, ééòThere are some days in New York when the skies are softly lit and Central Park is at it’s finest. A myriad of greens sets the backdrop for crisp morning air leading our bride through her favourite parts of the vast park. The solid stone structures of Bethesda Terrace set the foundation for a formal ceremony with a cathedral veil only to be warmed by a touch of candlelight. A small quarry along the water with vast views of New York City juxtaposed to a nearby inlet for our bride to forage and enjoy small flowers still in bloom. Finally, the Ramble, a notable structure in the park with a hand-laid stone archway surrounded by stones and texture among the trees. To honor our model’s Colombian heritage, she traditionally wears her wedding ring on her right hand.ééò
