“I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.”- John O’Donahue
We at Wild Hearts love collaborating with talented industry friends to create magic; we adored creating this autumnal styled shoot in beautiful Arrowtown, captured by Sophie Isabella.
An ethereal shoot inspired by a wild-hearted soul wandering alongside a flowing river, bare toes against the rocky riverbed. A stunning intricate sheer lace dress by Brooke Tyson Ritual brushed frosted ferns, and a bouquet by The Vase of garnet-toned orchids and proteas trailed wild greenery against the fallen leaves of the forest floor.
Romantic separates of a flared-sleeve lace top and sheer skirt in dusky mauve by Natalie Chan were layered with a custom painted ‘Forever Wild’ jacket by Dustcloud Studio.
Ribbons of amethyst tones by The Vase twirled in the wild wind against delicately illustrated stationery by Smitten With Love. A wild opal ring by The Goldlane gleamed in the flickering candlelight.
Follow us into the wild… where inspiration runs like wild rivers and forests are filled with wandering hearts.
