This stunning styled shoot took place at The Stratford Park Hotel & Golf Club

The team behind this styled shoot wanted to create something big, bright and bold. “We wanted the photos to be fun and colourful with a touch of elegance,” says organiser Sarah Day from One Day Film Productions. “We began planning in December, 2021, starting with key contacts: Annabel Sarah Bridal and Anthony Hall Photography. We quickly found a venue stylist, White Violet, and exchanged thoughts on how we could bring together all our ideas. I wanted to find start-up companies in the local area, like myself, who were starting their wedding business journey or needed a stronger social media presence. The teamwork shown in this group of suppliers has been astounding. We gelled well together, and I’m super proud of how it all came together to produce such amazing results.”

The models, Hannah and Russ, are a real couple. “Their big day was supposed to be in 2020, but it was postponed due to Covid,” shares Sarah. “After getting their hopes up one too many times, they decided to tie the knot in a registry office and hoped to have their party at another time. However, circumstances changed, and they never managed to have their big day. When the opportunity arose to be the models for this styled shoot, they jumped at the chance so that they could say their vows and get some photos of themselves in wedding attire. Although this is a styled shoot, there was a real love story behind it, and it’s safe to say that we all treated the day like it was a real wedding, with the utmost care and focus.”
