Moments that matter Inspired by Stanhill Court Hotel’s beautiful grounds, a group of wedding professionals worked together to create this magical styled shoot Images courtesy of Paul Placitelli Photography  A fter a difficult year for the wedding industry, local suppliers came together to create this woodland wedding scene. “We wanted to inspire modern couples to believe in themselves and their vision, to enjoy planning their wedding in their own way, without a care of what others may think,” says wedding planner Lucia Penman from Celebrating Love. “The bridal reveal is such a special moment for couples, so we decided to incorporate it into the shoot followed by Emily and Jake walking down the aisle together. It’s modern, authentic, and there is something incredibly soothing about making an entrance with the person you are about to commit your life to. The atmosphere is relaxed, consisting of an outdoor ceremony with fairylights and frames hanging from the trees, vintage accessories, and tall hand-moulded candles, foliage and blush blooms that make this a truly stunning wedding scene.” Photographer Paul Placitelli adds: “Once I learnt of Lucia’s vision for this shoot at the stunning Stanhill Court Hotel, it was the perfect opportunity to blend the classic theme of the venue with the charming gardens and rustic woodland setting of the hotel’s grounds. The photography has a bright, airy, classic chic look, mirroring the atmosphere of the bridal suite, transitioning to the rustic feel of the woodland outdoor ceremony. The pictures capture the vision perfectly and show couples how different themes can be blended together to create a magical day.” 69 REGIONAL SHOOT
