Summer Of Love Styled Photo Shoot...

Well on this cold and snowy day in March!!! I thought I would finally get round to sharing with you an amazing styled photo shoot i was involved in 2012...

  Summer Of Love

 

 This shoot was organised by Luxe Bridal who supplied the beautiful dresswear worn by the models on the day

 

 

The inspiration was the late ‘60s/early 70s  vintage hippy feel. Louise Holgate, the fabulous photographer who captured the shoot used natural light whilst capturing a summer feel to the shoot

 

It had rained every day leading up to the shoot, but from these fantastic snaps you can see we were lucky to enjoy some sunshine!

 

 

The talented Sarah Russell of SGR Vintage Hair and Make Up was also part of the team that made this shoot so beautiful..

 

 

 

and it was a pleasure to be asked to create the flowers for this amazing shoot. Makes m smile everytime i have a peek!

 

Flowers i used to create the designs include Million Stars Gypsophila, Sweet Avalanche Roses, White September Flower, Scabious, Memory Lane Roses and Antirrhinum in subtle shades of creams, pale pinks and lilacs, tied together with natural raffia, to create a hair circlet and comb, bridal bouquet and groom’s buttonhole

 

 

Summer of Love was captured in June 2012. We had to keep the shoot under lock and key and Louise and Shelley did not let us see until finally in September 2012, the shoot was featured in Boho Weddings Blog and it was well worth waiting for...

 

Then a few days later i recieved a message from the Summer of Love team saying that the shoot was being featured in Unique Bride Magazine! Front Cover and Four page feature i was over the moon for everyone! I cannot wait to see what we come up this year in our next photo shoot..

Although i love every picture, my favourite picture from the shoot is this one...

 

 

I love the beauty of this picture with the bride peering over the natural bouquet of flowers! I use this image on all our business posters and leaflets but it seems this picture is also loved by many more people as we made the front cover of Bridal Suite Magazine Issue too!

 

 

So this styled shoot has been a winner in more than one way and it was an absoloute pleasure to be invited to be part of this special shoot!

 

I hope this has made you smile as much as it make me smile!!!
