Today's bridal inspiration is equal parts magical and serene. Film photographer Jennifer Kulakowski and stylist Hint of Chic dreamed of a coastal editorial at the Carpinteria Bluffs filled with details that felt organic to the space like soft florals and a mermaid-esque Alexandra Grecco gown. If you are a sea-loving bride to be, but won't be celebrating your love near a beach, a great idea is to schedule your bridal portraits or engagement session near the coastline. We envision the ocean as perfectly imperfect with textures galore so a 'windswept' beauty look fits just right...

From photographer Jennifer Kulakowski: "Our vision for this editorial session was to capture ethereal bridal portraits that combined the natural beauty of the Carpinteria Bluffs with an elegant feminine style. We drew inspiration from the scenery around us and tried to create a look that tied in organically with the majestic cliffs, stunning beaches, and primitive landscapes surrounding us. With a windswept updo complete with greenery, a gorgeous garden rose bouquet, and delicate Alexandra Grecco gown this shoot provided rustic beauty in a soft fine art style."
