1960's inspired photoshoot



I was delighted to be asked by Sweet words Stationery to be involved in a 1960's inspired photo shoot held in the Leopold Hotel in Sheffield. 

Having looked at various mood boards by Ruth I came up with the idea of Yellow Roses, Yellow Gemini with a black centre and a touch or yellow Orchids and to give the bouquets a little twist rolled tiny leaves and finished with black satin ribbon.

How this all came together looked fantastic! The styling was by the fabulous Chloe at Adore by Chloe her unique, personalised and stylish photo shoots are perfect. The stationery was by Ruth at Sweet words stationery who came up with the  60′s idea from a stationery design she had created, the theme was yellow, white, black and a bit of grey.

The bridal wear was by Grace Couture their collections have been chosen with the greatest of care and consideration. You will find classic simplicity alongside vintage and modern in luxurious silks and delicate lace.  

Hair Accessories was by Rachael at Tattered Rose and  has developed from a love of crafts and jewellery making pieces featuring an eclectic mix of Swarovski crystals, vintage beads, nostalgic images and artefact's. The pieces are designed to be talking points, sparking memories of times past whilst making use of materials that would otherwise be forgotten or thrown away.

Photography by the wonderful Anthony Naylor .They aim to capture emotion and magic in every image, to create a timeless shot of that one precious moment, to inject passion into each and every photo. While one couple may want their wedding photography to be natural, another couple may prefer more formal images.

The whole day was captured by Parkin Arts is a film production company specialising in bringing the "cinematic" to any project or event.

And the yummy cake  was by Rachel Edwards who creates a romantic finishing touch to any wedding, high fashion celebration or society event.
