WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO MODEL FOR THIS PHOTO SHOOT? Emma: Modeling is something neither of us had done before, but we always had this long-standing joke that

we were Swedish models before we even started dating. We couldn’t have anticipated actually getting chosen to be apart of this, but knowing I’d be alongside the love of my life all day made all of my nerves disappear. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF MODELING? Emma: The best part of modeling was being with Kyle, and constantly looking over at him and seeing his sweet face looking back at me. He had never seen me in a wedding dress, or anything so formal, and the look on his face when he first saw me was one of those mental snapshot moments. This was so special to share, and when it was over I wanted to cry because I had so much fun. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THIS SHOOT? DID YOU RELATE TO THE CONCEPT? Emma: The team was phenomenal, just unbelievably lovely people. It felt like I was out with family all day, and we laughed so much my cheeks legitimately hurt by the end of it! I’ve never felt so beautiful. The shoot was so very chic, and I loved the juxtaposition between the scenery and the fashion. We were cracking up driving out to Rancho Victoria Vineyard, because I used to live near there for about 14 years! It made me miss home, and it simultaneously married who I’ve grown up to be with my roots, unbeknownst to the style coordinator, of course! IF YOU COULD OFFER ANY ADVICE TO FUTURE COUPLES, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Emma: Enjoy this time. It’s truly yours. It’s tragically easy to get caught up in the mess of it, the stress, the questions, the budgeting, but this moment is more than that. You get it once, and it’s magic. As my mom always says, ’steal your joy where you can find it,’ and there’s plenty to be had as a bride, as a groom, as someone who loves someone else.
