The stunning location and beautiful gowns in this shoot for Issue 09 of UNVEILED demanded full on glamour.
With the help of our professional team, we created a sophisticated take on glittering, evening romance. The resultant look was very opulent and abundant in florals yet slightly subdued and sexy to give the editorial the stylish edge for which our print magazine is well known.
Richard Perry, Photographer
I am an engagement and wedding photography specialist based in Leeds. I capture wedding day memories for my wonderful clients all over the UK and abroad. My approach is a mixture of documentary style along with some editorial images, so that you can relive your big day but also have those showstopper photos to hang on the wall.
I was in my element on this shoot. The seductive and sensual old Hollywood theme really played into the editorial style of photography I enjoy and allowed me to experiment with different lighting techniques. The models were both fantastic and made the shoot an absolute dream. I particularly enjoyed photographing them both in the beautiful old stone window to capture some amazing high fashion shots.

Hayley Hoyle, The Bridal Collection
Established in 2009, The Bridal Collection in Harrogate, Yorkshire, flies the flag for not only British bridal designers, but also for the true bridal experience. A full service bridal boutique with a highly skilled team of bridal stylists and seamstresses, brides are assured the very highest level of service in luxury surroundings by a passionate and innovative team, backed up by excellent reviews and an enviable reputation.
For this shoot we combined the crisp, clean lines and sharpness of Suzanne Neville with the glamour of Jenny Packham, using 2018 gowns from both designers. Suzanne Neville’s Swanson brought a touch of retro elegance while the clean silhouette of Constance showed off one of Suzanne’s slimmer shapes. We then brought the glamour with the new Jenny Packham separates collection showcasing a combination of slips and tops, which added some show stopping glitz and worked perfectly for this sultry concept.

Debbie Marks, Qube Events & Productions
We are a wedding planning and styling company that provide everything from floristry and table décor to lighting, dancefloors and more. We work directly with couples to creatively deliver their vision for their special day.
Elegance and opulence was key when designing our arrangements for this shoot. We used beautiful white Phalaenopsis orchids throughout all the displays and for the gorgeous shower bouquet. It’s a stunning, luxurious flower that delicately flows. For the wedding ceremony we created a beautiful sweetheart arch of orchids and hydrangeas, entwined with driftwood to give it a slightly earthy feel. The centrepieces followed the same glamorous theme.
