Part Two - Photo Shoot 1st May

Right, so the next part of the shoot was all created around old furniture and props that have been knocking around for yonks. We had old typewriters, leather cases, oil lanterns etc but when it came down to it my lovely friend Laura wearing a gorgeous lace dress from Forever Yours of Rye was all we really needed. We had been given the most beautiful boquet of roses from Scarlet Feather a new Florist from Sissinghurst and that was the perfect finishing touch. This set was located in our Old Kent Barn and although it made a fabulous picture we were more limited with positioning as the backdrop itself was so small.
Laura is one of my bestest girlies and after a lot of nagging from me she begrudgingly modelled for us and I think you'll all agree she makes a beautiful bride. Love you Laurabell x

Beautiful

After this shoot we got Laura out of the wedding gown and dragged her around to assist us with the rest of the photo shoot which moved outside.

The Meadow is really coming into life at this time of year and we are fortunate to have the most stunning Oak Trees in our Woodland area of the Meadow and this is where we set off first. Next to model was Rosie. Bless her heart, she didn't know a single one of us yet trusted us to strip her off dress her up and mess about with her hair and make up. Superstar!
The dress Rosie wore was again from Forever Yours of Rye . It's such an eye catching gown and it worked beautifully in The Meadow.

It was tricky getting her in the tree but it was worth it!

So Pretty!  Bouquet from Scarlet Feather

I love this piccy, beautiful Rosie
I love these images so much, they capture the heart of The Meadow so well. The appeal of our venue is all nature bound and these shots are so easily obtainable for any Bride - we'll even give you a hand into the tree :)
Thank you for all your time and patience Rosie, we hope to work with you again :)

Next up was our lovely Sophie. Another fabulous friend of mine. Again, she'd been super patient and had to wait around a good few hours until we were ready for her. Sophie's dress is actually one that we had already for previous shoots but no one else had managed to squeeze in to it! We were looking for an ethereal, festival vibe Bride with this shoot. So we threw the Heels to one side and let her curls tumble around her face and just let things flow....

Possibly my favourite pic from the day

Walking in The Meadow

Sophie had made a friend by the end of this!


With "Muffin"

LOVE! 


Sophie is holding both the bouquet from Scarlet Feather and also the other (seen in the Walking in The Meadow image) from The Flower Craft Workshop which was a stunning arrangement of cream and blush roses with bluebells and Rosemary highlights.

Lastly here are two more images of the lovely Emma posing outside the barn.



"So, who took all these lovely images?" I hear you cry. Of course it was our fabulous friends from Cap2ure. I love the way Cap2ure work. They are so fussy about the smallest of details, yet they still manage to keep the shoot flowing and most importantly they keep the models/brides at ease. That is a lot of multi tasking! Especially when they have me running in and out of shot fluffing dresses, tweaking hair, or, just making the models laugh when they're meant to be pulling posed faces. Brilliant fun. Full credit must go to them for pulling this off. Sure, we have the ideas but without their expertise it wouldn't turn out nearly half as well.

So that was our day. I hope you've enjoyed the images and all the wonderful supplies that feature in them and  I really do hope you like our venue :) Bookings being taken for 2012, call me.
