Glorious Bridal Fashion Shoot

I love each and every wedding we photograph. I really do. We absolutely believe that we are there to document the day and to give our clients photographs which capture them and who they are. Our style of shooting weddings means that we don’t take our couples away from their guests for endless posed shots. It’s a wedding day, very definitely not a photo shoot. So this inevitably means that we don’t get much chance to work in a stylised, editorial way.

However, we recently had the opportunity to just that for a Bridal Fashion Shoot at Whirlowbrook Hall …. AND I BLOOMIN LOVED IT!

The whole thing was beautifully styled by Julia Harrison at Go Glorious. She is a brilliant venue stylist with huge vision and an eye for style second to none. She is bursting with ideas and is just brilliant at seeing the big picture whilst at the same time bringing every tiny detail to life. Head over to Julia’s blog for the low down on all the detail. www.goglorious.co.uk

Julia brought together some serious talent to make it all happen………

Rachel Edwards is the best cake designer I have ever met, seriously, her passion for detail and commitment to perfection is awe inspiring, jaw dropping quite frankly. www.cakesbyracheledwards.com

The dresses, OMG the dresses, were provided by Emma at Freya Bridal. It’s simply my favorite gown shop. Emma’s knowledge about her trade is second to none, she knows what suits you before you’ve even picked a dress of a rail and boy does she know how to accessorize! www.freyabridal.co.uk

Catherine Greatorex at Petalis is one of the best florists around. Seriously brilliant at producing exactly the ideas you have in your head – how does she do that?!! www.petalis.co.uk

Julia Jeckell is an extremely experienced and talented make up artist specialising in both TV and wedding makeup. http://www.chicbrides.co.uk/

Hair was by the fab team at Jam on Oakbrook Road – really original work and they nailed the brief Julia gave them to cover different era’s in time. Jam Hairdressing – Contact then on 0114 2302894

Finally our four gorgeous models……Hannah, Lauren, Rose and Hannah. They tried to make me believe that none of them had ever been in front of a camera before. What a ridiculous suggestion. They absolutely ROCKED it, blew it out of the water, nailed it!  ………… I am seriously impressed as it’s true none of them had!

Phew that was a bit wordy!
