Exclusive Photography for weddingyurts.co.uk Launch

Back in June I was contacted by Lizzie Jones of chocolateharlotparlour.co.uk She needed a photographer for a photo shoot she was organising with two other businesses avaeventstyling.co.uk and theweddingclub.co.uk.

Lizzie's beautiful Yurt hire business was branching out into wedding hire and she wanted to show the capability of the Yurts to create an amazing venue for weddings and honeymoons, showcasing different moods.

The shoot went ahead on a typical British summers day, with a tempest throwing its worst at us. The Yurts coped brilliantly in the wind and rain, showing they really are a viable venue to be relied on.

Following the shoot, Lizzie created a sister website, specific to wedding hire www.weddingyurts.co.uk This has now been launched, with photography exclusively by me. Yay! It's really exciting to see it up and running :-)

Alice In Wonderland (Yurt In The Woods)

We wanted to highlight the ability of the Yurts to put you in amongst natural surroundings; whatever the weather! These images were taken when it started to rain and we moved from the lakeside to under the trees. The model commented that she felt a little like Alice in Wonderland which I loved! I researched vintage Alice illustrations and was inspired by some bronzed drawings which I felt really reflected the mood, weather and lighting of the day.

Hippie Chic (The Cream Yurt)

The relaxed mood for the cream yurt was set by the 60s styling, model’s clothes and laid-back manner. I echoed the warmth of the textiles in the images, typical of photographs from this time.

The Big Wheel (The Big Yurt)

A wonderful feature of the big yurt is the airy wheel in the roof, letting light flood in (whilst keeping the driving rain out!). I kept the lighting very simple to allow the wheel’s silhouette prominence.
