Into the Woods; A Metro Weddings Magazine Editorial (Part 1)

It's very rare for me to consider set design in my editorials. I usually choose the venue thoughtfully to match the theme of the project. This one, however, and as you can see, is totally different from any that I've created, and I'd dare say I want more of these in the future. It's maximalism at it's finest, with the best the industry have to offer. Getting to this point is hard, believe me (and if you have time, I'd tell you how this editorial started and ended; a day full of hassle) but in the end, it was all well worth it.
