An Essex Wedding - May/June 2022 (Issue 104)

Fairy tales Want to get whisked away on a magic fairytale adventure? This gorgeous wedding shoot shows you how it’s done Images courtesy of Laura Beresford Photography Inspired by The Complete Book of the Flower Fairies by Mary Cicely Barker, after a long lockdown wedding hair and make-up artists Marina Moore and Victoria Taylor were keen to get back to doing what they do best! “We wanted to create something pretty, floral and dreamy, utilising the outdoor space and lake we had available to us at Sible Hedingham’s Red Brick Farm. The result was a shoot that showcased pretty, soft pastels throughout, creating a whimsical, magical look that was original, fresh and light. It really brought together all of the natural outdoor elements of nature – including the swans who decided to join in! The stand-outs for this shoot were the gorgeous paper flowers by Hire My Decorations; the hanging metal hoop decorated in florals by C Taylor’s Floristry; and the bespoke gowns created especially by After Elizabeth. We added our own handmade head pieces and fairy wings, which were worn by our models Megan Vickers, Erin Baker and Grace Taylor.” LOCAL INSPIRATION 53
