Hartley Botanica - Wedding Promo Shoot...

Somis, California is home to the lovely Hartley Botanica. A 3 acre spread of land that is nestled outside of the sleepy town of Moorpark. It is a fully operating plant nursery but that is not its main attraction.  It contains picturesque gardens that are breathtakingly beautiful. You can arrange to reserve areas of the gardens for weddings and special events and now that I have been there I don't know why everyone doesn't get married there. It is absolutely stunning from beautiful greenery, millions of plants, and striking architectural elements.

I had the distinct pleasure of visiting the gardens as part of a wedding promo shoot. The lovely Seleta and Terry from Eternally Yours Photography set up an amazing day for photographers, models, and hairstylists to work together and get  the chance to share their skills for each other's benefit. I am super grateful for the lovely Barbara of Harlety Botanica for allowing us to shoot in the gardens and to Seleta and Terry for setting up such an amazing opportunity. I love that I have such supportive and amazing friends in my life. :)

Here are a few pictures from the shoot of our lovely models Melanie, Loryn, Louise and Andrew who were gracious enough to spend their day with us and donate their time and rawrness! It's a word. In the urban dictionary. I'm sure of it!
