Story of the Shoot...
As is routine with a venue like Doxford, the rustic romantically sound setting was the ideal backdrop for this editorial. Exposed brickwork, hushed hues and a hefty helping of countryside character brought the images to life and encapsulated the laid lack luxe brief.
The Fashion
Juxtapose this with standout bridal fashion and we’re talking a fierce rendition of all things we love about all singing, all dancing creativity. Gowns from Victoria Robson Bridal lit up the lens, with a beautifully seductive cap sleeves number from Pronovias gracing the grass and lovely lakeside in full flow. When would you ever see haute couture bridal fashion within a few steps of a herd of sheep? Doxford Barns, that’s where.
The Styling
Into the courtyard and the styling is something to behold. The Whole Sch-bang did what they do best – with pretty pastel shaded blooms hugging and wrapping around an overhead tables cape with style, while wicker baskets and ornate table settings completed this summer al fresco setup with aplomb. The cake? A glorious three-tiered centrepiece from north east baking extraordinaire Gabriella Grace Cakes bringing all the sweet, sweet style.
Luxe Details
We adore the little details in this shoot. Dreamy earrings, a statement pink lip and a bridal blouse we'd like on our own backs, immediately.
