Behind the scenes at the shoot A/W 2013

So I am currently waiting, very much with baited breath, to see the results of my photoshoot from last Sunday. While I am waiting I thought I would share some of my (not so good) photos from the location and on the day of the shoot. I was incredibly lucky to get such a stunning venue, which did require slightly military precision planning to get to and get the shoot done in time but thankfully everything did go to plan. The house itself can be hired out for events and I would say if you are looking for somewhere spectacular this really is the place.

The usual suspects were gathered together for the shoot - Paul taking the photos, Roy creating beautiful hair, Fiona doing fab things with make up and Nicola bringing along some strumpet hats and general fabness. We had a wonderful model Olivia from colours agency and I had managed to borrow some amazing accessories from Pam Jenkins and Rene Walrus.

I cannot wait to see what all this adds up to down the camera lense but from what I saw in the back of the camera I am really excited. I am very lucky that Paul has already sent me one official image from the shoot so incase you missed it on facebook, here it is again. Fingers crossed there will be more soon to show you.

Diamonds in the sky.

Well its a while since I last posted but I think I am coming back with a photoshoot bang. These quite frankly gorgeous images are from a shoot that was organised by the wonderful Janet from Rene walrus for a new bridal collection of accessories she had made. Shopping list - diamante sunglasses (who cares that I wont be able to see), diamante ball tiara, all of it. How could I resist getting involved when all of that sparkle plus coloured smoke bombs, cherry blossoms, frothy underskirts and a whole host of other prettiness was to make up the shoot. And, well the results speak for themselves, the shoot itself makes me think of the virgin suicides but if they had been slightly less suicudal and had taken a large amount of mind altering substances.

Glasgow Wedding Collective - Wedding Fayre 15th January

Towards the end of last year I became a member of the Glasgow Wedding Collective. The name may be a little deceptive as it has wedding suppliers from all over Scotland. Next weekend sees its 2nd official outing with a vintage style wedding fayre. There will be a variety of fabulous suppliers from vintage inspired photgraphers, letterpress stationery, yummy cakes and a whole load more. There will be plenty to inspire all you brides to be with all the details of your big day.

I am currently holed up in the studio creating 2 new bridal styles to debut at the fayre. I have a sneaky peek of the beautiful beaded lace I am using in one of the dresses for you below.

So for all you newly engaged folks out there that are looking for some imspiration this is the perfect opportunity to get you started. The wedding fayre is on at the Hillhead Bookclub, 17 Vinicombe St (just off Byres Road), Glasgow and is on from 11am-4pm. Hopefully see you there.
