The
Water for Elephants photo shoot was inspired by the novel by
Sara Gruen. The story is about circus life during the
Great Depression. While the story is romantic; circus life was far from easy. Our protagonist, Jacob Jankowski, (played by
Harrison Muncaster) loses his parents in a car accident a week before his veterinary exams at Cornell. Distraught and penniless, he froze up at his exams, walked out and ended up on a circus train.
It was there that he met and fell in love with Marlena (played by
Kaylie Renee Wilson). The photo shoot we created represents how we imagined Jacob and Marlena's wedding would be. The
Orange Empire Railway Museum was the perfect venue for this collaboration. Check out these amazing photos by
Marilyn Nakazato and be sure to see the
Water for Elephants movie, starring
Reese Witherspoon and
Robert Pattinson, in theaters now!
Be sure to stay tuned for
Water for Elephants: Part 2 on the blog tomorrow! I'd like to thank all of the wonderful and talented vendors who helped to make this photo shoot so amazing!
