“This vision was a dream opportunity for me, i used the influence of ‘Steampunk’ and
Anthropomorphism to create a dark and whimsical feel to the whole design”

“Grapphenhall Walled Gardens which dates back to the 1830’s created the perfect back drop to the shoot. With its abundance of mature trees, ponds, sandstone archways and Victorian glass houses, the venue provides us with a creative work-space to further inspire the shoot”

Flowers- La Beau Fleurs Floral Design

“Having devised the concept and he creative for the shoot i knew that the floral designs I created had to be dramatic, with depth, texture and an abundance of colour to contradict the darkness of the overall vision. The bridal bouquet was large and boisterous with feathers in this years Pantone’s colour of the year, coral. Brides are now looking for a more natural style of bouquet, a statement piece, something that helps them to customise their look, and this bouquet would certainly do that! The Pedestals and centre pieces were extravagant, unruly and striking, using a range of florals from purple hydrangeas to coral roses supported by a cosmic range of eucalyptus. Creating a flow through out your floral designs really helps to pull the them of your wedding together and i wanted to demonstrate this within the shoot.”

Hair and Make Up- Makeup by Andrea and The Hair Script

“Two very different models required 2 really different looks, however both needed to be unconventional and follow the contradictory feel of the shoot! Using a range of products from Illamasqua, Charlotte Tilbury, Laura Mercier and Make up Revolution Andrea from Make up by Andrea created a moody and bold look which was completely different to the usual bridal request.”

“Room Forty Afternoon Tea and Vintage China Hire were thrilled to take part in the Dark Alice photoshoot. After all, you can’t have a mad hatters tea party without an amazing teapot or six, and we’ve got hundreds! We love to give every person a matching trio (cup, saucer and side plate) although some brides prefer a relaxed mismatched look and that works too. We made lots the dainty patisserie for the shoot, giving them a darker twist and usually serve them with crustless sandwiches and scones to serve as your wedding breakfast, hen party or the day after the wedding!”

“Creating a Gothic fairy-tale look was just up my street and the jackets
worked so well with the gown creating an edgy contrast with the soft botanicals
painted onto the rough materials”
