For the Spur August 2014 issue, photographer Hiroko Matsubara shot a beautiful wedding-themed fashion editorial. The shoot featured models Hirschy Hirschfelder and Federico Boden posing together like a newly wed couple sailing down a waterway channel in Venice.
Spur is a Japanese fashion magazine that is known for its cutting-edge editorials and elegant fashion taste. In this shoot, fittingly titled 'My Style, My Wedding,' models Hirschfelder and Boden posed in vintage-looking gowns and suits as they played the part of husband and wife. The pair look like they're out of a music video for a folk song as they run together through forests and smile effortlessly at one another.
My favorite picture captures a relaxing Hirschfelder in a layered white gown and Boden in a navy blue suit as the pair float down the river on a stylish gondola.
