today this editorial went live on love story inspiration...



...so what better time to celebrate the three statement looks that Laura wore as created by Susanna Greening Designs.


Nestled in the North Nottinghamshire countryside - and just a stones throw away from me - is Norwood Park. A stunning country manor venue and the perfect backdrop for your modern Bridgerton wedding. With 17 super cute rooms on site, it's the perfect place to not just tie the knot but host your favourite people for the weekend.


I have had the pleasure to work at Norwood on their branding imagery (both their team and the aforementioned accommodation) and on various editorials and workshops (my last one was even published in print) and it is one of my favourite venues.


Keep scrolling for the low down on Laura's THREE bridal looks and the team that helped the magic happen.

all three bridal looks


were provided by Susanna Greening Designs, a bespoke bridal atelier based in Matlock. Sus has a range of semi-bespoke options but really comes to life for her bespoke clients.


Look one was a silk balloon sleeved gown which I got to shoot last year for Will and Leigh at Norwood Park. It suits the space so well. The silk is a dream to shoot because it moves so well and looks even better with direct flash. The corridors at Norwood invite movement and the light is so good on the first floor.


The look was finished with jewellery by Temprell and Hair and Make up by Helen Sutcliffe Hair and Hannah Dora MUA.

look two was commissioned especially for this editorial


which is insane! Sus absolutely nailed the brief and the gown fit Laura like a glove. It was a joy to shoot... the movement, drama and elegance was off the charts. I am particularly obsessed with the detachable puff ball sleeves and the subtle slit, easing movement and making it even comfier for you to wear (as well as modernising it and helping you to show off your pins).

Can we also have some commotion for THAT floral arch by Gigil & Bloom

the third bridal look was the ultimate dress change for those wanting a long dress but still a statement...


That bow is giving me serious main character energy! Again, silk - so dreamy to shoot especially with direct flash.
