Pumpkin We love this showcase of celebrant-led ceremony options with a seasonal and sustainable twist Images courtesy of Emily Brown Photography Kent-based celebrants Alex Hilder and Kate Mitchell together with photographer Emily Brown set out to create a seasonal styled shoot to showcase different ceremony setups. After all, your celebrant-led ceremony can be whatever and wherever you want it to be! As well as a super-fun pumpkin theme, the central idea was to reflect the team’s love of nature and desire to be as sustainable as possible in their businesses, so they gathered together a group of local suppliers who share the same ethos to help them. The dresses were preloved, the flowers were grown locally and the hair and make-up artists use cruelty-free brands. The models are real couples and, Alex says, “We absolutely love the authenticity they brought to the images. We feel strongly that it’s important for the industry to support diversity in all its forms and using couples who aren’t professional models goes some way to helping with this.” Both pairs are already married, so as a thank you for their help, Kate and Alex gifted them genuine vow renewals. So, the photos you see here depict the most precious of moments between these couples recommitting themselves to one another. PATCH PROMISES LOCAL SHOOT 57
