On a recent trip to Germany I created some fashion and lingerie glamour images at the Schleissheim Palace in Northwest Munchen in the state of Bayern (Bavaria). The grounds are the site for three palaces, the Old and New Schleissheim Palace and the Lustheim Palace. Like most former royal residences in Germany, the grounds are open and free to the public to enjoy. Always serene locations and perfect for a stroll, quiet read, or jog, they are also favorite locations for photographs and photographers. On this day a bride and groom were having their formal pictures taken on the steps of the Schloss (palace) at the other end of the gardens.
We shot these images at the Northeast side of the expansive garden near the Pavillion, which was a grand horse stable in its day.

I always love to shoot on location in Europe, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. The stately and glamorous architecture has such a draw for me and provides an incredible degree of inspiration, and I go back as often as possible.
In the spring of 2016 we will travel to Prague to work with some of the Czech Republic's wonderful models. Follow us on Facebook as we prepare for and shoot in this fantastic city. Also be sure to return here to see more from this shoot in Munich in Part 2.
Open your mind and heart, travel and know the joy of becoming a citizen of the world.
One's life can be comprised of many things...perhaps the most important of which is learning and growing.
