An Alternative, Pink, Black & White Bridal Shoot With Smokin’ Hot Couple

Good afternoon ladies! I do hope your working week is going rather well and you’re managing to sneaky sneak some wedding planning in somewhere! Today I have a quirky, alternative pink, black & white inspired bridal shoot to share with you. What I particularly love love love about this shoot is that even though it’s alternative it still has a pretty, girlie vibe.

The models corset top is a little bit sexy and the pink tulled skirt is slightly anti-bride whilst also being princessy. Cute! The fact that our couple are a bonafide real couple makes this shoot all the more gorge.

Huge pat on the back to the team and an extra big pat for talented wedding photographer Jennifer Marino. Stunning work lady :))

An Alternative, Pink, Black & White Bridal Shoot With Smokin' Hot Couple

I came up with this ‘alternative wedding shoot’ idea with my lovely model Lexi. I always wanted to do something quite different so I thought why not!

I knew in my head what I wanted the photos to look like and represent and to be honest they came out pretty spot on! I must add I wanted a real couple too and thanks to Lexi and her boyfriend Iain they did brilliantly!

For the colour scheme I wanted pinks, whites blacks, anything that was a bit in your face but still nice on the eye ;) I did want Lexi to look a bit like a princess but still quite alternative! :) as for Iain’s look, well to be honest he just had to dress like himself and he fit the bill!

For the location, I have always wanted to shoot at Eynsham Hall, Oxfordshire. I love how different some of the rooms are, very quirky! And the outside gardens are just beautiful! They were VERY accommodating and we all really appreciated their co-operation on the day.

As for the styling, my lovely mum made the bottom half of Lexi’s dress and I bought the corset from eBay! It’s amazing how they both fit together really well. It goes to show you don’t have to spend loads to make something awesome! :)

I love sweets! So they just had to be involved! Thanks to the amazing sweetest cart ladies ( Kirstie and Keeley ) they did a wonderful job and the cart looked amazing!

The props were made by me and my mum too, the bunting, pom poms, and weddings signs were all DIY.

I knew I couldn’t have a normal flower bouquet, I had to have something different yet beautiful and these button bouquets are absolutely stunning! Thanks to Devon Masters from The Button Room. I gave her just a few simple words to go by, like ‘pink, alternative, elegant’.
