{22nd October 2011 }
12 months ago, Nicola of Belle Noir Bride contacted us to introduce us to her new blog, which has main objectives of inspiring, informing & supporting Black British Brides-to-be & newly-weds. As a recently-wed inter-cultural couple ourselves, her aims really interested us so we were really excited to work with Nicola. Thus, we decided to photograph Nicola & her husband, Ashley, in their wedding outfits and items from their April 2011 wedding. The premise was that it would be a celebration of their love for each other and act as a reminder of their wedding day, a cherish the dress & custom-made suit shoot, of sorts.
We asked the highly talented Jenna of Lucky Sixpence Events to help us plan the shoot & boy, did she come up trumps?! Along with Jenna & Nicola, we decided on the “feel” that we wanted to achieve before Jenna organised & styled the shoot for us. Please check out Nicola’s post for the full story of the shoot; meanwhile, here are our favourite images from the shoot.
We love the striking contrast of the architectural styles of the Renoir & The Brunswick so much…..
Nicola & Ashley are so lovely.
So gorgeous together.
Ashley’s bespoke suit had a coral lining too!
This photograph of Nicola’s relative inspired them to choose their wedding colour palette based on the Peach jacket.
Just adore the flare & Nicola’s smile in this.
How cute is this Biscuit Boutique Jammy Dodger necklace that Jenna sourced for us from Of Cabbages and Kings , a fabulous designer-maker shop nestled in beautiful Stoke Newington?
Thanks so much to all involved in this fun yet tender shoot.
