Set against the enchanting backdrop of the 18th-century Strawberry Hill House, Twickenham, London, this wedding photo shoot was a masterclass in elegance and style. With an exquisite colour palette of caramel, hazel, golden mustard, and white, every detail was meticulously curated to evoke a sense of timeless opulence. Shot by the talented Helen Warner and styled by the visionary Lucy Meehan, the shoot was a celebration of refined beauty and historic charm.
The Vision
Strawberry Hill House, with its Gothic Revival architecture and romantic gardens, provided the perfect setting for this luxurious shoot. The colour palette was chosen to complement the house’s rich history and natural surroundings, creating a harmonious blend of elegance and warmth.
The Photography
Helen Warner’s keen eye for detail and artistic vision brought the shoot to life. Her ability to capture the subtle interplay of light and shadow, the intricate textures of the historic interiors, and the natural beauty of the gardens resulted in a collection of stunning images that tell a story of romance and sophistication.
The Styling & Planning
Lucy Meehan’s styling was nothing short of extraordinary. The bride wore a flowing gown that mirrored the hues of the historic interiors. The groom’s attire, in dark navy, added a touch of classic elegance. Together, they created a picture of timeless grace against the backdrop of Strawberry Hill House.
The Cake
Louise Hayes crafted a wedding cake that was a true work of art. The three-tiered creation, with its intricate sugar flowers and geometric detailing, perfectly captured the essence of the shoot. Set against the house’s elegant décor in front of the stunning stained glass window, the cake was a true centrepiece that embodied both sophistication and indulgence.
The Floristry
Johanna Pedrick’s floristry was a feast for the eyes. Bouquets and arrangements in shades of caramel, hazel, and golden mustard, interspersed with white blooms, added a touch of natural elegance to the shoot. The flowers, with their lush textures and rich colours, perfectly complemented the opulent surroundings of Strawberry Hill House.
The Stationery
Grace and Bramble’s stationery matched the tone for the shoot. The invitations and personalised menus crafted in luxurious paper with elegant design and gold accents, were a perfect match for the historic setting. The attention to detail in the stationery added an extra layer of sophistication to the overall aesthetic.
The Setting
Strawberry Hill House, with its unique blend of Gothic architecture and picturesque gardens, was the ideal location for this stylish shoot. The house’s ornate interiors, with their rich colours and intricate details, provided a stunning backdrop for the photographs. Outside, the gardens, bathed in soft, golden light, offered a serene and romantic setting for capturing intimate moments between the bride and groom.
