Hampshire wedding network styled shoot showcases diversity and sustainability

The director at the Hampshire Wedding Network, Andrea Strong, is always on the lookout for niche venues that would benefit from hosting a wedding fair and reached out to Dom Brenton Photography after finding a stately home venue with stunning grounds. Dom comments, “When she described the lovely wisteria walk, designed a century ago by the renowned horticulturalist Gertrude Jekyll, I suggested that it sounded like the ideal location for a late spring styled shoot – the idea was born!” Andrea put diversity and sustainability at the heart of this shoot. It featured a same-sex couple, dresses from The Bridal Mill in Botley, hair and makeup by Lucy Marie Bridal, and silk flower arrangements from The Floral Hire. Celebrant Helen Crook conducted a mock ceremony, and the brides loved posing with the Figaro convertible from Family Tree Wedding Cars. The team took advantage of the verandah with an al fresco wedding breakfast setting, styled by Event Perfection, and then adjourned to the wisteria walk to cut the cake from Wildflower Cake Studio.
