Chic and modern bridal editorial, Mortimer House London

Mortimer House in Fitzrovia London is a stunning art deco venue and was the perfect backdrop for this chic and elegant bridal editorial shoot organised by makeup artist Abi Taylor. It has a loft space with large windows and balcony space with lots of natural light.

Abi wanted to showcase 3 bridal looks and our gorgeous models were spoilt for choice with bridal wear from Charlie Brear, Constellation Ame and Lovely Bride London. Each chic and minimal outfit highlighted the girls effortless beauty with the gowns flattering silhouettes. The girls natural makeup and sleek hair styles were styles with modern gold jewellery pieces by Paige.

A stunning green and white floral arrangement by Spring Hill Florals created a beautiful fresh backdrop and Callie Pettigrew styled the tablescape to complete our minimal chic bridal wedding shoot. Rica from Alchelmy of Sugar created an elegant cake and biscuits with gold foiling.

I hope this shoot inspired brides to embrace chic silhouettes and separates for a totally stylish City wedding!

Edgy, bohemian bridal inspiration, Nurstead Court Kent

Are you ready for some badass rock chick bridal looks? It was so much fun to shoot an alternative editorial style bridal video featuring a Harley Davison and non traditional wedding dresses from Poppy Perspective’s Cornucopia collection. The look and feel of this bridal shoot was edgy boho and the girls did an amazing job bringing lots of fun and energy!

I love the combination of the vintage lace dresses with the colourful and whimsical bouquets by Moody Blooms. To add an extra edge to to the look, we had custom jackets from Berry & The Bee, House of Elliot lace up boots and statement earrings from Oh Poly Earrings to complete our edgy vibe. I hope this shoot inspired you to embrace your inner biker chick and rock your alternative bridal look!

A special part of a wedding day is the bond between the bride and her bridesmaid and maid of honour.

Christmas Bridal inspiration, Nurstead Court

This elegant Christmas bridal editorial was styled by wedding planner Natasha from Natasha Spencer Events, who I had worked with before on Morwenna and Joshua’s wedding.

The editorial was held at Nurstead Court in Kent and it was a stylish boho luxe festive theme. There was lush green and white flower arrangements, lace dresses and gorgeous hair and makeup looks modeled by Tilly. It was great to get in the festive mood and capture the behind the scenes video!

This shoot is also featured on Your Kent Wedding magazine!
