When I first met with Karley about her vision for this summer editorial for Scenemakers, I was instantly smitten. Wild botanicals and ethereal details at the beautiful McCune Mansion all came to life on this rainy summer day, all with careful planning by Karley herself. Her inspiration in her words:
“I saw a bride with a hat and veil on, as a beekeeper would wear, and this became the core of my design for this shoot, Beekeeper Bride. As honey bees circling around their queen we took in our natural surroundings of the garden, waited for the clouds, shot in the rain and ventured inside the mansion with a warm light, golden as honey. The beekeeper bride is one that sees those microscopic details that can so often be missed; the freckle of a foxglove, the way the light reflects off warm caramel, the soft hue of a tulip that almost resembles flesh. She keeps things simple, light & fresh.”
