A little while back I had the privilege of travelling to Venice, with a bunch of lovely female photographers, for a weekend of shooting, chatting, eating, drinking wine and all that good stuff 🙂 Various informal shoots were organised, and I decided it was a great opportunity to get some gorgeous bridal portraits in a stunning setting. So I asked the lovely ladies at The White Closet if I could whisk one of their gorgeous Claire Pettibone dresses off to Venice for the weekend, and they very kindly obliged 🙂 I was also loaned a couple of beautiful headpieces for the shoot; an amazing glittering headband and veil from HF Couture and a delicately pretty floral circlet headband from Lila Accessories, both of which looked gorgeous with the dress. Vicki was our beautiful model, and did an amazing job in the cold (thank you!). Vicki looked stunning, her gorgeous red hair and tan brogues working perfectly with the dark cream lace of the dress.  We spent a lovely morning wandering the back streets, alleyways, canals and bridges of a rather flooded Venice, and this is what we created…

What a beautiful dress, and a beautiful city! I’d love to photograph a real wedding in Venice, so please do get in touch if you are thinking of having a destination wedding in Italy 🙂
