Ethereal, Green and Foliage Inspired Bridal Edit at Victoria Baths

This softly edgy shoot at Victoria Baths in Manchester is by the talents that are Jenn Brookes Photographer and Leah Henson Weddings and I’m so excited about their work. Jenn pulled the idea for the shoot together and had three things in mind; green, movement and soft light. They took polaroids on the day and used those as the inspiration for editing the images. I think it gives the whole shoot a really ethereal feel teamed with the most beautiful dresses, it’s basically divine.

The amazing dresses are from Frock and Soul Ltd a completely brilliant new boutique run by Bekka in the town on Uppermill. Bekka stocks a diverse and unique set of designers including Poppy Dover, Theia, Anais Anette and a selection of one off original vintage dresses too. This Saturday the 21st January, Frock and Soul is hosting a La Poesie Trunk Show, no appointment necessary and you must go check out this new boutique, you really must.

The lovely model is Freyah who’s make up is by the talented ‘Make up by Emily Berry. The venue for the shoot is one of my favourite buildings in the whole world, Victoria Baths in Manchester. For over a decade I lived one street away from it and to see it turn from the dilapidated shell it was – to the amazing venue it is now, is wonderful. So as you can probably tell, I’m pretty excited to have this on the blog today, I hope you love it too. Jenn tells us more about the shoot;

I work with Leah quite a lot and I shoot photographs for her when she does video at weddings. We really enjoy working together and seem to work well, so it was great to do this with her too and express our creativity.

I have been shooting wedding photography since 2016, I love it and its going really well and I really wanted to create a shoot to appeal to my ideal couples.

I approached Frock and Soul boutique after seeing their collection online and loving how different it was but also with a mix of vintage.

I love different styles of wedding photography and try to appeal to an audience who is after more unusual style but still with a twist of the vintage or the modern if that makes sense!

I made the eucalyptus bunch myself for about £6 and bought it from Flourish on Tib Street in Manchester and tied it together with floral tape, to create a very organic looking and loose bouquet.
