I can’t really detail this too much right now, since this project isn’t completed yet, but I’m too excited NOT to say anything. To be super super super brief, I’m helping to illustrate a book on eco living and eco weddings by Angelica Weihs, a green wedding planner in Los Angeles. Here’s a note the author wrote to one of my couples:
Hi,
I got your contact from your amazing photographer Nathan. I am writing a book describing the path of an green wedding and portraying couples who have experienced them and the professionals who have helped them to manifest their vision. It is a lifestyle book, re-defining luxury as the chance to live consciously. I saw your inspiring pictures and would love to tell your story.
Look for an updated blog post in the coming months! Here’s an extremely abbreviated synopsis from one of my couples:
We used local indigenous flowers, conch shells, local palm trees as aisle markers, green transportation for the bride (a horse!), electric powered golf carts, local Bahamian food, etc. We have lots to say about out adventures in scouting out a sacred place, the elements(fire, earth, air, water), etc. Simplicity was our goal: we wanted our wedding to reflect the way we live our lives. Organic, healthy, earthy, conscious, etc. Bring it on!
I’m so psyched, honored and thrilled to be a part of this project. More later, stay tuned, I’m so bad at keeping secrets!
