Inspired by the British Columbia coast on the North Pacific Ocean, this windswept bridal editorial by SAMIN PHOTOGRAPHY was created as a tribute to the breathtaking landscapes of the west coast of Canada. This shoot focused on the natural elements of the beautiful environment in this part of the world. Samin tells us, "We opted for wild and organic design in order to highlight the raw and natural beauty of the area – namely Tofino. Tofino's dreamy beaches offer so many picturesque backdrops, with stunning sunsets. HANNAH TIKKANEN'S romantic gowns are made to move with the wind like a dance to a long lost song of the sea. The colours of these gowns are each inspired by the slate tones of the ocean as well as the muted palette of the sunset and paired with foraged flower arrangements by RASPBERRY FLOWERS this free-spirited concept was accomplished. AYLA PENA used various naturally-deckled handmade paper for the stationery to have the rawness of the surroundings felt. As she was drawn to the striking hues of the sea, she added a bit of loose watercolour on the cards to achieve the ethereal look for the elopement suite."
