A few weeks ago I assisted Sarah Vivienne on a bridal shoot for R Magazine. The shoot was for R Magazine’s bridal special. Along with lending a helping hand, Sarah asked if I would get some behind the scenes shots of her photographing as well as the magazine crew working. I was absolutely thrilled to do so. Sarah was so kind and gave me the opportunity to capture some details of flowers and jewellery, some of which have ended up in the magazine spreads below. A huge thank you to Sarah for giving me the opportunity to come along; we have quite a few weddings together coming up and I’m very excited! Her pictures in the spreads are gorgeous! I hope you like my contributions too!
The gorgeous venue for the shoot was Rushton Hall, a very popular place for weddings.
Here are some of my photos of the lovely models having their make up done. This is the gorgeous Alexandra Notley.

And this is Julie Stocks hard at work on Charlotte Batson’s makeup!

Alex getting ready. This is Kate Winfield of R Magazine helping her.

Here are some of the details I caught of the jewellery and flowers.


The magazine used a slightly different shot that was more jewellery focused, but I had already processed this one so I chose to blog this which is more of a portrait! You can see the one they used further down in the spread.
The flowers were supplied by Julie Anna Flowers and they were really lovely.
Now onto some of Sarah Vivienne hard at work! The venue has endless opportunities for a bridal spread such as this.






This is Kate’s lovely assistant Jenny!

Below are some of the spreads from the magazine. To see all of them you can visit the following link. The spreads turned out wonderfully and you can see some of my detail and behind the scenes shots on the last two spreads (note on the last page the first shot of the venue is not mine).






Thanks so much to Sarah for inviting me along, it was such a great experience. Feel free to comment below and I hope you had a wonderful bank holiday weekend! xx









Just as we arrived, it started to rain so everyone huddled under umbrellas. However, as luck would have it, just as the bride and her father walked down the aisle, the rain began to stop.




















































The light and colours in the church were lovely.




















P’s dress was absolutely stunning. It fit beautifully and the details in her hair were gorgeous!

Now this is the man I know and love
In other news, my brand new iphone 4 arrived today! I have never owned an iphone so I am really excited but also quite worried this may turn into a new addiction that lives in my handbag…I’m still amazed that I can get my email no matter where I am…
