Inspired by James Bond, this shoot has it all from stand out flowers to showstopping scenery

Local photographer, Oliver Rees worked with a group of talented suppliers to create these stunning images. He tells us: "We wanted to create a styled shoot which showcased strength, love, passion and elegance. We took inspiration from the film Skyfall and used bold colours and striking poses to show off the powerful models. Utilising the gorgeous backdrop of South Wales, a nearby castle ruin and our character-filled venue, Court Colman Manor, we were able to bring our vision to life. Make-up artist, Hayley Drew let her creativity flow and styled our model, Lowri Beth, and we finished the look with vintage pieces by Vintage Adornments and floral arrangements from Elyn Boutique."
