A SUN-DRENCHED AUTUMN INSPIRED SHOOT

The other month I got a great opportunity to work with some amazing suppliers within the wedding industry and create a wedding inspired shoot on no other than my grandparents farm!

Our theme/style for the shoot was to create an autumnal styled rustic vibe, with sun-drenched photographs... and low and behold, for once the sun actually shone for us on the right day, and we had wonderful golden light all afternoon! Miracles can happen!

It was a fabulous day with some AMAZING suppliers involved, turning their hand to styling and decor. Sara Gadd, created a bespoke head piece especially for the occasion! Honestly, it's such a stunning piece I'm sure you can agree, with a detachable veil option - beaut! Jessica from Handwritten Decor created MANY different calligraphy based signs for us, as well as place setting names on leaves which were so lovely and unique. Both Jessica and Sara, (as well as one of my friends helping - Kate), were THE BEST team to help put together our little 'stations' - 'pimp your prosecco' and 'love at first bite'. Styled to perfection I'm sure you'll agree! And definitely keep an eye out for Sara's head piece on top of the cake too!

I'll let the photographs tell the rest of the story, but a massive thank you to Linda from White House Bridal for being a great support as well as stepping in at last minute, and Sian for coming to our rescue being our model - just WOW she's a natural beauty! Also thank you to Jo and Sally for the cake and flowers, organising and making them both before heading to the Armathwaite Hall wedding fair that very same day! What busy busy ladies!
