Behind-The-Scenes with Rick Nunn

The following article is courtesy of English portrait photographer Rick Nunn. 

She and I spent a few days at the cabin in the woods over the weekend. In between coffee on the balcony & trips to the beach, we made some time for a few photos.

We wanted to do something a little surreal and fairytale-esque. When the sun wasn’t blocked by the clouds it was glorious. However, as you’ll see in the video below, it kept appearing and disappearing — so timing the shots just right with the sun was tricky. I think our patience paid off though.

And yes, those are real ducks. And yes they were really there.
