"My vision for the day was to create something floral and whimsical with a focus on pastel tones," photographer Sophie Waghorne tells us, "Perfect for a springtime vibe." Whirlow Brook Hall was the ideal space to capture the local suppliers' creative spirit. Located in the centre of Sheffield, it's set in gorgeous parkland space away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Meanwhile, the large windows allowed for Sophie to play with plenty of natural light. “The team at Whirlow Brook were fab to work with and I'm very grateful to them for letting us use the space on the day,” she continues.
The project's dream team was comprised entirely of talented Yorkshire lasses, and Sophie found herself proud to work alongside such strong, independent business women. “Everyone involved is so talented and worked super hard to bring my vision to life just from the mood boards I'd shared with them a few months prior," Sophie says. "We met through the world of Instagram and have built great friendships as a result."
The aim for the day was to capture a variety of bridal looks modelled by Katie and Irini from the classic to the fun. The gowns were provided by Dorothy Eloise Bridal, while the chic two pieces were designed and handmade by No.17 Edit.
Keen to showcase the suppliers' latest launches, the shoot also features new signs and newspaper by Rose Designs, as well as bridal earrings and clip-in veils by Laura Fernandez.
We're sure you'll love the result as much as we do. Sophie concludes, “We hope this inspires couples not to be afraid to incorporate colour or something a bit different into their days!”
