FESTIVAL OFlove Glitter, glamour and giggles were very much the order of the day on this exclusive shoot from Chelmsford make-up artist Zhana Hawkins There are a lot of wedding shoots out there that focus on boho styling or even rock ’n’ roll, but I wanted to capture the fun of a couple’s big day,” explains Zhana. “I’m a music and festival lover and envisaged a collection of looks that channelled those vibes into a celebration – as well as incorporating a lot of glitter. I love glitter – and doing this shoot was my dream come true! “Shot during Pride month, with the bright colours it felt right to work with a same sex couple to bring our vision to life. Working with a real couple always feels so much more genuine, and Michele and Graz have been brilliant on previous shoots. They also told me how they struggled to find suppliers for their own wedding that were LGBTQ+ friendly, and it was important to create a collective that were completely inclusive, living by the manta ‘love is love’. “Using private land gave us the versatility to set everything up exactly how we wanted – space for an outdoor ceremony, glamping tents, tipi marquee, dressing room tents and lots of beautiful land to play with. Given the past few years, outdoor weddings are on the rise, and it felt great to show the art of the possible.” “ 51 LOCAL INSPIRATION
