Serenity by the sea

Totally happy we dream away the day today. The remarkable film photographer Katie Grant impresses us with her sense for art and beauty.

With pale shades of grey and blue – which reflect the spirit of heaven and ocean – she arranged this amazing beach-shoot.

Therefor she also created the calligraphy, the cake and the floral decoration by herself. Elfishly and shrouded in tender tulle a fancy bride floated across the beach and fascinated everyone.

From Katie: “This styled shoot features a romantic, seaside, ‘table for two’ that is perfect for the eloping couple or to transform into a larger scale wedding. Crashing waves slammed into nearby rocks creating both a beautiful show and an intense soundtrack for the evening.

We went for a soft tulle wedding gown that subtly caught the sea breeze and perfectly contrasted the harsh, rocky shores of La Jolla.

Foraged clam shells hold rolled menus tied delicately in Frou Frou Chic ribbon and muted flowers were carefully chosen from the local Little Italy Farmer’s market.

Hand calligraphed quotes by E.E. Cummings, “It’s always ourselves we find in the sea” and Kahlil Gibran, “In one drop of water are found all the secrets of the ocean” set the stage for this romantic and intimate affair. Ornate silver and an antique, 1920s, aquamarine ring polish off the look.”

What a pleasure to enjoy these breathtaking images of art shot by Katie Grant. This is what heaven must feel like.
