Eye Candy Friday : v109 {ballet inspired bridal fashion shoot}

These four photos are a very tiny sampling of the many AMAZING photos from this Black Swan - ballet inspired bridal fashion photo shoot that took place in the UK and was photographed by Katy Lunsford Photography. To see the entire photo shoot with all the details and story behind the photos, please click here.

Since my little girl is going to be starting her 3rd year of ballet/tap this fall and she had her first ballet summer camp this week, I'm always drawn to anything ballet inspired. And, this shoot is just gorgeous. Loving the makeup and isn't the bouquet below stunning with the large brooch?

If you are looking for more ballet inspiration, you might like a ballet inspired wedding inspiration board I put together not too long ago.

Wedding Insurance for your special day

sponsored post

My Wedding Insurance provides wedding insurance to UK brides as well as overseas wedding insurance to UK brides getting married abroad. Their service provides comprehensive wedding insurance policies and allows brides and grooms to take out either a set wedding policy or to create their own insurance package. When having the option to choose a set package or to create your own policy, you're able to cover your wedding, no matter what your budget may be.

What I love about My-Wedding Insurance is that right on their web site you can compare plans and receive your instant online quote - there's no need to wait for an email or to receive a call from a representative. You get to review all your options right away. And, lastly, all of their policies cover you for up to two years prior to the ceremony.

Real Wedding : Jen and Alex in Wiltshire

We continue with our Real Weddings feature from Chanelle & Craig of Segerius-Bruce Photography (UK based photographers) - {see our earlier wedding of Japanese Girl Married English Guy here}. The wedding of Jen and Alex too place at the Bradley House (which has been owned by the Duke of Somerset since it was built more than 300 years ago). For 3 days, the couple had exclusive use of the house and the wedding day began with the guys clay pigeon shooting on the grounds of Bradley House while the girls spent time pampering themselves by having their hair and make-up done. I'm loving the creative night portraits that were taken inside of the house {you can see these a bit later in the photo montage}.
. . . and now, for the creative night portraits. LOVE the dramatic lighting!

Real Wedding : Japanese Girl Marries English Guy

Since starting my Real Weddings, I've been able to meet so many amazing photographers and one of my top favorites has quickly became the husband and wife team, Chanelle & Craig of Segerius-Bruce Photography (UK based photographers). The 2 weddings I'm featuring today from Chanelle and Craig are nothing short of stunning (plus, I have a next day "Shoot the Dress" session to share with you, details on what this is to come).

I could envision so many of Chanelle & Craig's photos being re-printed on large canvases to be hung in the new couples homes. They truly do create wedding art.

The first wedding today is of Andy and Maiko at Hartsfield Manor in Reigate, Surrey. Maiko met Andy when he was working in Japan. London is now their home and friends and family came from all around the world to celebrate. Isn't Maiko's long veil gorgeous? Believe it or not, she made it herself.
