LET ME GO Never Lakeside Hotel & Spa was the backdrop for this autumnal styled shoot Images courtesy of Clare Gelderd Photography This beautiful shoot at Lakeside Hotel & Spa was part of a wedding open day. “We wanted to showcase the venue with the help of a few local suppliers who we highly recommend,” says Ashleigh Campbell, the sales manager at Lakeside Hotel & Spa. “Clare, the photographer who was coming to showcase her work and take a few shots, came up with the great idea of creating a staged photo shoot. She quickly got to work with Andrea from The Flower House, who helped make the day really special; she even acted as a photographer’s assistant, which was a great help. As the Lake District presented a chilly display of winter weather, it gifted an opportunity for the suppliers to pull together, work with the elements and add a sprinkling of warmth. Beginning with soft glowing natural make-up and warming lips, teamed with subtly styled free curls, all set to last the conditions of the day. With a typical autumnal palette, The Flower House styled a cascading, vintage bridal bouquet, which tied in perfectly with Belle Lueur Bridal’s Cameron dress by Made With Love. To further enhance the warmth of a loving ceremony, the suit was a Marc Darcy burgundy design from A Family Affair Bridal & Menswear, rich in colour, texture and certainly a cosy layer for the bride as the snowfall began. Moving through to the Windermere Suite, dressed welcoming, warm and homely with a variety of blossom trees that please the eye and only amplify the spacious and exclusive space. With a private patio area, we embraced the heat of the outdoor firepit, ideal for keeping warm as the snow falls or even toasting marshmallows. As always with Clare Gelderd Photography, the shoot was captured naturally and then processed with warmth, colour and depth – magnifying the idyllic Lake Windermere landscape, venue and efforts by all involved.” 43 STYLED SHOOT
