Your South Wales Wedding - September/October 2023 (Issue 93)

ROMANCE Retro This styled shoot at Ewenny Priory turned into a real-life proposal Images courtesy of Kate Richards Photography The 1950s were the inspiration for this styled shoot, with the model wearing a short dress, sunglasses, and pearls that resonated with the Hollywood era. Organiser and photographer Kate Richards tells us more: “I asked Amy Louise MUA if she could help us find a real couple, and that’s how we discovered Morgan and Olivia, the perfect models for our styled shoot. I wanted to end the photo shoot at Ogmore-by-Sea as it has beautiful sunset views, so we chose Ewenny Priory as it was close by and very versatile with arches, florals, and a gorgeous stone coach house. After a few weeks of planning, Morgan contacted us as he wanted to propose to Olivia at the end of the photo shoot, and that’s when we knew this was going to be an extra special day. The secret wasn’t easy to keep, but we managed it well. There were tears of joy, and not just from the couple, and in that moment, we all knew how lucky we were to be doing our jobs.” 59 STYLED SHOOT
