Alpaca Farm Bridal Editorial // Upstate New York

If you know me, you know how obsessed I am with alpacas. I first fell in love when I traveled to Peru in 2013, and since then I’ve wanted to do a shoot with these lovely animals! When I moved to New York in 2015, I had no idea that there were even alpaca farms here- I did a quick google search and found Faraway Farms– owned by Leda and Steve- in Yorktown Heights and paired up with Justine with Together Events & India with IndyFaso to bring this idea to life.

I honestly had no idea how this would all come together- bridal fashion and alpacas, but I trusted India and Justine’s vision, we collaborated on a mood board together full of indigos, deep reds and greens to brighten up the winter scene. Thankful to these ladies for trusting my creative brain for this styled shoot.

This project was so meaningful for me because I had an idea for a shoot and it actually came together more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. Everyone worked so hard that day- it was not easy coordinating cars full of florals and vendors/models, but Leda and Steve couldn’t of been more warm and welcoming to their farm and I just loved spending the day there with all my fluffy alpaca friends!

I’m thrilled to share that this shoot was featured on Wedding Chicks and below you’ll find the whole team of vendors who made this happen!
