An Atmospheric Vintage Inspired Bridal Shoot at Stanton Gardens by Belle Art Photography

I love an atmospheric, slightly dark, slightly edgy but ultimately just beautiful experimental styled shoot. Becy from Belle Art Photography, collaborated with talented florist Katie-Jane from The Garden Studio, to bring us this captivating vintage bridal shoot at Stanton Gardens in Morpeth. I love it! Stanton Gardens is a relatively new venue and it’s a total hidden gem, I predict we’ll hear a lot more of this fabulous space in the future and I bet it becomes a firm favourite with couples.

I really love these images and I have a serious fixation on glasshouses, greenhouses, palm houses and orangeries at the moment, so that’s an added bonus. Add a touch of deep green foliage, a log pile backdrop, a rustic festoon lit and foliage bedecked barn, a floral crown or two and I’m in heaven! Oh and of course the dresses, pure vintage gems from the fantastically curated collection available from Vintage at Number 18.

Becy’s photography is so exciting, I really enjoy real weddings of course but styled shoots really enable talented wedding suppliers to really flex their creative side, collaborate, experiment and produce whimsical and mysterious images like these. I hope you love them as much as I do, here’s Becy to tell you more about the shoot;

Katie-Jane from The Garden Studio and I decided to work together to create a vintage-inspired styled shoot.

Weddings at Stanton Gardens is a relatively new venue just outside of Morpeth, Northumberland. Katie-Jane had already worked with them before and showed me some images of the beautiful rustic barn and it was perfect! The venue boasts beautiful green gardens, a rustic barn and quirky greenhouses, so there are lots of option for creating some amazing images.

I then contacted a beautiful vintage bridal shop, Vintage at Number 18, who came on board with the most unbelievable original vintage dresses from the 50’s and 60’s.

My vision for the shoot was beautiful, weird and wonderful! I love styled shoots because it enables you to get the images that you really want to create, I’m an artist so I always create a concept before jumping into a shoot.

I know the models very well, in fact on of them is my sister! The real couple, Tom and Erin are both quirky individuals and made the whole experience really fun.

Huge thanks to Becy at Belle Art Photography and Katie-Jane at the Garden Studio for sharing this atmospheric shoot at amazing Stanton Gardens with us. It looks like a hidden gem of a venue!
