Beautiful new photos

Tuesday, July 17th, 2012

As promised, the time has come to show you the results of our photoshoot the other day (some of you may have seen a sneak peek on Love My Dress). This is our third collaboration with the super-talented Emma Case, and this time we wanted to do something a little different. We chose a large, empty studio space to work with, to create more of a fashion-inspired, stylised shoot. Filling it with balloons and fresh flowers, coupled with some photographer jiggery-pokery by Emma gave us the dreamy look we were after..

The joy of working with some truly lovely stockists up and down the country, is that they very kindly lend us their beautiful frocks for shoots such as this. A veritable feast of dresses from The Wedding Club, Naomi Neoh, Fur Coat No Knickers and Timeless Couture compliment the new collection perfectly.

And no dress is complete without a touch of accessories action. Thanks to the lovely Laurel Lime and Sharper Millinery for their sparkly delights.

Shoes, photos and a big pink balloon

Friday, July 6th, 2012

Happy Friday everyone- can’t believe it’s the weekend again! This time last week we were busy getting the final bits and pieces sorted for our photoshoot, which took place on Monday, and was really rather fun (and a bit of hard work too)!

We were lucky enough to be working with the dream team again, with the fabulous, award-winning Emma Case behind the lens and the mega talented Makeup by Jodie not only doing incredible makeup but also gorgeous hair too! Our beautiful models this time were the stunning Talia and Emme, who looked ever more glamorous as the day went on, as I got more bedraggled running around (thank Friday for coffee)!

We wanted to go for something a bit different this time, so planned a more fashion-inspired, stylised shoot. After the beauty of last season’s venue (Highbury Hall), it was a real challenge using an empty studio, but we had great fun selecting props, including our magical giant pink balloon (thanks to the fabulous Pete Smyth for the balloon-mission)!

Huge thanks to Fur Coat No Knickers, Naomi Neoh, The Wedding Club and Timeless Couture for letting us use their ridiculously delicious frocks. And a good frock needs a good accessory or two, so thanks to Laurel Lime and Sharper Millinery for their yummy sparkliness!

Much fun was had by all, and we’re really rather excited about the results. We can’t show you just yet, but rumour has it they’ll be appearing on a rather well known blog early next week.. watch this space!
