Hi all. This blog will be a little bit different since this is not a real wedding photoshoot. Instead, I want to show all of you potential newly-weds what your post-ceremony photoshoots could look turn out to look like.
Although not a real couple, I chose Murren and Mario to act as my bride and groom, since they both have past modelling experiences and I have worked with both of them before.
Rob Roy’s grave is situated on Balquidder Old Church, Loch Lomond, which we thought would build a gothic vibe to start this photoshoot off. The winter undertone mixed with the antiquated church enkindled a baroque yet tender feel to the ceremony pictures. This is exactly what I was aiming to produce with this photoshoot. I wanted to convey the idea that elopements and untraditional ceremonies are just as eccentric as conventional ones.
After the ceremony, we decided to hike up the mountains just beside the church. On our path up to the peak, the scenery and the views were immaculate, so I shot a good number of photos before we had even reached our final destination. Originally we had planned for Mario to wear a silver-checkered blazer, but due to fitting issues, we spontaneously decided to make him wear this charming copper-coloured blazer, which ultimately suited the winter theme a lot better than our original choice.
What pieced this whole photoshoot together were the flowers supplied by FLOWERMUG, jewellery put forward by KATIE LEES and the dress by AW BRIDAL. These small details had a vast impact on the flow of the outfits, making them look complete and photoshoot-ready, all while fitting the theme I had envisioned.
When we finally reached the mountain’s summit, we were exhilarated to see a little bit of snow left-over from the storm that happened a few days before the shoot. This meant that I could thoroughly evoke the theme of Winter with this photoshoot; which ultimately made me feel fulfilled to have achieved the goal I had in mind.
Take a look, and let me know what you think.
