From the Planner, Jessica of Amorette Events... Nestled within the busy city of San Diego, California, these olive groves were the perfect spot for this editorial. It is a small, intimate area that is surrounded by an abundance of olive trees which created a sense of mystery, romance, and intrigue and was secluded from the rest of the busy, fast-paced life of society.

We wanted to create effortless beauty which began in the details. The stationery design by Cottage Four Co. For Ciarra Claire had a delicate design which incorporated letterpress, olive branches, and gold calligraphy. We chose Galia Lahav's Bellina gown which was the perfect dress, as it completely embodied ethereal beauty and grace, to keep with the elegant vibe that we were hoping to achieve.

Our beautiful models helped bring our vision to life so effortlessly. The talented Chiali of Chiali Meng Artistry created a natural look with classic curls and minimal makeup. We absolutely loved the idea of the dark colors against the light-textured tulle of the gown. Jane of Plain Jane Posy created a lush, flower forward bouquet with tones of blush, white, and nude, that perfectly accentuated the soft blush hue of the gown. Mallory of Mallory Dawn Photography captured the magic of the intimate moments these two shared in the groves where time seemed to stand still.
