These romantic images were taken at Red Hall Hotel
When this styled shoot first landed in our inbox, we just knew that our lovely readers would adore it. Jules Fortune tells us: "As a regular photographer at Red Hall Hotel, their wedding coordinator, Helen, asked me if I wanted to be part of a team for this beautiful photo shoot. The venue has recently undergone a refurbishment, so she wanted to highlight the new look by bringing all their favourite local suppliers together. The theme for the shoot was based around Gingerbread Event's room styling. The golden pampas and Art Deco styled backdrop became the inspiration for the cake design, dresses and hair and make-up. I wanted to showcase the glamour and elegance of the look, giving the whole shoot an Art Deco feel. The finished look came together beautifully, topped off with the epic lighting supplied by Peter Lockwood Events."... read more

Eve and Jonny met at a theatre company in Germany. "Jonny was an actor, and I was a prop maker," says Eve. "He was the second Northern person I'd ever met, so I thought of him as a bit of a celebrity.
