Be enchanted by this Beauty and the Beast-inspired shoot at St Donat’s Castle

The inspiration for this shoot came from the Beauty and the Beast fairytale," says hair and make-up artist Maya Jasinska. "We wanted to find a magical castle hidden in the Wales countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life with breathtaking views. We came across St Donat's Castle, which has a magical interior and exterior and is a place where every girl can become a princess and have their dreams come true. This shoot was created by some of the best suppliers in Wales who all paid close attention to every detail."
