A group of talented suppliers worked together to create this shoot at St Mellons Country Club

Rhiannon Holland from Mefus Photography tells us more about this spring-inspired shoot: "I wanted to create something fresh with the creative freedom to try new things. From bridal make-up with a pop of colour, to bridal jumpsuits and fedoras, we wanted to showcase our creative vision and perspective clients that you don't have to follow current wedding trends, you can try something new. I purposely didn't write a shot list, something I usually can't leave the house without! I created some moodboards and brought a dream team together. On the day, we all felt relaxed and excited. There were no time pressures, no couples to please, just an opportunity to work together and create something beautiful. I used vintage lenses for most of the photo shoot, which meant I had to manually focus, this forced me to take my time and really think about the light and composition, rather than just 'click, click, click!'. The venue was perfect as there were so many different areas with different colour schemes and fabulous natural light. I'm so grateful to all the suppliers who gave their time and creativity to the photo shoot, and we're all very proud of what we achieved that day. The overall vibe is calm and ethereal, with a hint of regal elegance."
