Romantic Winter Styled Shoot - Part 1

Yesterday was such an amazing get together with some of my photography friends on this styled shoot.   Myself and Lauren put the shoot together and it definitely had that Summer Lily touch from the peach flowers, to the rose gold sequin table cloth, it was going to be a light, bright, airy and clean shoot from the offset!

The day started off cloudy but dry as we (mainly Gemma) were setting up each little area that we wanted to shoot and then just as Nicola and Jay were ready......the heavens opened and we had a downpour of snow and rain! Once it eased off we shot the first look which was romantic and wearable for all couples looking for wedding day inspiration.

Once the cold really did take over and Nic's hot water bottle was no longer doing the job, we had a break for lunch, during which Leah from Belle's Beauty funked up the look for the second half of the shoot.

It really was such a fun day and I can't wait to do another one......only in the warm next time! Check Back at Lunchtime for Part 2 which has an epic flower crown!

Steve & Louise Wedding ~ Harrowden Hall, Wellingborough

Every time I pack my kit ready for a wedding, I'm excited. Excited to see two people in love get married, honour their love in front of family and friends and all the little details they've spent months arranging so their day represents them as a couple. This wedding, the wedding of Steve and Louise was no different, I was excited, but I was more than excited ...... as during the time between them contacting me, meeting up, shooting their engagement pictures, having drinks at their venue visit, bumping into Louise in Costa and numerous emails and Facebook messages, I didn't just feel like their photographer, I felt like a friend, watching the two of them seal their love on this beautiful day.

The ceremony and reception were all held at Harrowden Hall in Wellingborough and what a stunning backdrop it was (even if we did get a HUGE down pour of rain smack in the middle of time for photos). Louise had also thought of every detail from wild flowers, macaroon favours, round balloons and two wedding dresses....she really is a girl after my own heart!
