“The inspiration for this shoot came from the desire to showcase our inclusivity with a talented team of vendors,” writes photographer Elizabeth Golden of this styled shoot in Kansas City, Missouri. “Not only do we feature a gorgeous real LGBTQ+ couple, but we also worked with special effects designers to create dancing on a cloud, dry sparks and smoke bomb exits!”
The models in the shoot are Licelle and Lauryn, who were celebrating their one-year dating anniversary at the time.
“The way they look at each other is infectious and we’re so honored to have them model for our shoot,” Golden says.
