In love with lavender A team of talented suppliers worked together to create this beautiful styled shoot at Cambridgeshire Lavender Images courtesy of Helen Alderton Photography After photographing family and equestrian sessions at the stunning Cambridgeshire Lavender in Bluntisham, photographer Helen Alderton knew just how to use this amazing backdrop to really showcase its beauty, versatility and landscape. Helen tells us: “My vision was to include all elements of a wedding, all set off beautifully in the natural light around golden hour and the most incredible sunset. First of the local suppliers to put their stamp on this shoot was Jitka of Jitka: Made to Measure, who constructed a handmade, one-of-a-kind dress with intricate, feather-like texture to give a soft, delicate and ethereal look against the fields of lavender. The bride’s flawless make-up and hair were done by Johanna Villarreal Bridal Hair & Makeup. To complement this, Alli from the Wild Clover Flower Company produced and staged some gorgeous floral decorations and arrangements, with deep purples, emerald greens and soft lilacs. These arrangements pulled everything together alongside a fruity element too, including limes and grapes to add to the decadent Mediterranean feel of the shoot. Nici’s Creations styled the shoot, creating an intimate and luxe dining setup, and Ambers Bakes and Cakes provided the cake. “Going for something a little different from my normal styled shoot, I chose to include Lucie Welch – The Soulful Celebrant. She created a handfasting ceremony, incorporating the colours of the shoot, which allowed for something more personal and special than a traditional service. “Our models, Alex and Steve, were a couple that I had the privilege of photographing at their wedding earlier in the year. They were so natural in front of the camera and truly took full advantage of showing their love and this can be seen throughout the images!” 49 STYLED SHOOT
