CINDERELLA STYLED SHOOT ~ YOU & YOUR WEDDING ONLINE

In January the lovely San of Sanshine Photography, stylist Charlotte Munro & a select group of wedding suppliers gathered at Blenhiem Palace to create a Cinderella styled shoot to be featured on You & Your Wedding’s website this week; ahead of the release of Cinderella at the cinema this weekend.

 The shoot featured two of our gowns fit for a princess, our silver Lilique crown & beautiful flowers, sweet treats, floral decorations & exquisite table settings.

The hand made paper magnolia blooms, pictured above, are from the talented company Tissue Blossoms.

Last month we worked on & contributed to a really great editorial shoot with Umbar Shakir of Atomik Photography. We were shooting a moody, sexy mix of couture gowns & lingerie with some of our accessories. As the day progressed it really felt like we were shooting a very exclusive, private party – very ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ meets ’50 Shades’ meets ‘Belle de Jour’. We were shooting transparent dresses & lingerie with silk & tulle fishtails & sexy corsets & ball gowns. The whole look was high end & a little risque with opulent pearl chokers, silver sparkling head-dresses & masks.

Chantal was on set styling & the last shot of the day was her Coquette gown which she wanted to make sure really fitted with the whole vibe of the shoot, so she discussed with Suki about giving Kimi an edgier updo & decided to take the sash from one of Sonata’s gorgeous silk & lace robes & turn it into a blindfold to really make her the pretty bad girl.

What a great & happily exhausting day – the team was very diva free & all hands on deck & were all super happy with what they shot & Chantal got to style parts of her gowns with lingerie which gave them a different look & to try different pieces from the collection together, for the first time & they really worked well.

The floating Roxanne was created via a ladder & some cable (always fascinating to see behind the smoke & mirrors).

We are so pleased Gilded Magazine liked what we created & with Umbar’s super quick editing we made it into the issue just before deadline with the issue going live just two weeks after we shot!

Yesterday we found out the shoot Chantal worked on with friend & International Fashion Photographer Emily Soto had been published in US based Thrifty Hunter Magazine AND Emily forwarded Chantal another 41 images from the shoot & some of the images are amazing!

Now that the shoot has been published, not only can we share the images (so look out for lots more being added to various pages on the site), we can also introduce you properly to Valentina & the Opera Cape we made for Coquette & share with you our Dolce Vita design.

The model we worked with on this was a lovely Liverpudlian called Abigail Tara Lilly, who has the air of a young Lily Cole & is just so beautiful & sweet & looked so enchanting in my work; giving it a very delicate, fairy like quality which blended perfectly with Emily’s style of imagery.

So without further ado, here is Emily’s gorgeous fashion editorial in Thrifty Hunter:
