Chelsea at Otahuna, surrounded by beautiful Brides of Merivale gowns and posing with a classic Karmann Ghia… because apparently, one stunning vintage model wasn’t enough.
With the dreamy Otahuna backdrop, gorgeous gowns and that iconic little car, this shoot was giving old-school glamour meets absolute main character energy.
And Chelsea? Completely understood the assignment.
Honestly, I’d happily photograph this combination all day. The only difficult part was deciding which was more beautiful — Chelsea, the gowns, or the Karmann Ghia. 😂
