Nfocus Bridal Fashion Editorial

Clementine Hall Bridal Bliss

Stepping into Clementine Hall for the NFocus magazine's wedding fashion shoot felt like walking into a dream. The hall's beauty was only matched by our two stunning models, who brought every frame to life with their grace and elegance—true professionals who understand the art of capturing the heart of bridal fashion. But, let me tell you, it wasn't just a one-woman show; we had an all-star team that was all in. Each stylist, assistant, and creative mind brought their A-game, making every shot a perfect blend of vision and artistry. I couldn't be prouder of what we created together.

When it comes to my gear, I'm a fan of keeping it sweet and simple. For this editorial, my trusty Profoto B10x's were my go-to, with umbrellas to soften and spread that lovely light. But of course, I like to spice things up just a bit—enter my MAGMOD XL with a grid and gels for that 'wow' moment. It's all about that subtle drama, right? Just a little twist to elevate the shot while keeping it classy. And guess what? I didn't need more than two lights for any setup. It's all about working smart, not hard, giving us the freedom to play with the story we're telling through our lens.
