How to Beat the Heat: Tips for a Comfortable Summer Wedding
A summer wedding sounds like a dream, and it often is. Long days and gorgeous sunshine...
Modern monochrome - local shoot extra!
Set in the heart of West Sussex at the stunning Farbridge wedding venue, this styled shoot brings together some of the best local wedding suppliers to create a look that is effortlessly chic and contemporary. With a crisp monochrome palette softened by organic textures, the vision was all about contrast—modern yet timeless, bold yet romantic.
Bringing this vision to life was Lucy Davis Photography, capturing every stylish moment with a natural, light-filled touch. The seamless coordination and design were led by Keshira Creative Events, who blended modern elegance with subtle, understated luxury.
The tablescape, featuring contemporary tableware and stylish chairs from Black Saucers, was softened with flowing fabrics, delicate florals by Flowers x Foliage, unique and personalised embroidery from Studio Brice, and warm candlelight for an inviting atmosphere.
A true statement piece of the shoot was the exquisite cake by Sarah Dent Cakes. Crafted in a rich latte hue, the design featured a striking black bow, adding depth and contrast to the overall aesthetic.
Styled by Keshira with elegant draping and an abundance of glowing candles, the setup brought a sense of moody romance, effortlessly tying into the shoot's refined yet contemporary vision.
For bridal fashion, Minster Bridal Boutique provided a stunning corseted gown with feathered detailing, paired with accessories from Garter & Veil for an extra touch of glamour.
The groom's effortlessly cool look was styled by Astares Menswear, proving that black tie can be both classic and fashion-forward.
Beauty was in expert hands with Toni Todd Bridal, who created a timeless yet modern hair and make-up look, perfectly complementing the couple's stylish aesthetic.
Officiating the romance was Jess Masterton-Smith of Celebrate Ceremonies, showcasing how a bespoke ceremony can bring personality and warmth to the day.
Capturing the magic in motion, Tom McKenzie filmed the day, ensuring every detail—from the flowing fabrics to the flickering candlelight—was beautifully documented.
The team were also thrilled to welcome Poppy Hennessy, a talented local student, who joined us to develop her content creation skills and gain valuable experience working alongside seasoned professionals. Poppy documented the day from a fresh perspective, capturing behind-the-scenes moments that added an authentic and dynamic layer to the storytelling.
