This Beachside Bridal Session Serves up Major Gown Drama

We’ve officially decided that this is the most beautiful beachside inspo ever. Complete with a windswept gown, elegant florals, and a cathedral veil that goes for days, we’ve got Donny Zavala to thank for this stunner waiting for you in The Vault!

From Donny ZavalaThis Malibu Bride shoot was inspired by the amazing natural setting and the proximity to the Pacific Ocean. With that in mind, we set out to find the most amazing light amongst the greenery of the hills. Our first look was inspired by the cathedral veil. We wanted to make a statement that wearing a cathedral veil amongst gorgeous light and tall grass could be a otherworldly. That is exactly what we found—our bride embrace the location creating a look that was just as what envisioned. Our second look was intended to create a different look that complimented the Pacific Ocean. Our bride wore two different dresses that compliment the sand tones and was easily whipped in the ocean air. At last, our bride was adorned with her veil and spent the sunset drenched in the California golden light.
