01/09/13 and 02/09/13 Pictures of the Day

After an extremely busy weekend I had to save these two Pictures of the Day and bundle them together in the same post.

The first is a 60’s authentic wedding dress that has been lovingly restored by Rebecca at Vintage Raven (if you want any pieces that are authentic vintage from 20’s onwards, she is definitely the person to see).

 

The image was taken at Swanwick Junction at Butterley Train station, and was part of a massive vintage bridal shoot we did. (More to follow on this shoot soon!)

The second Picture of the Day is a groom in trouble at the alter but is it too late? (Don’t worry folks, he was actually happy to be there!)

This image was taken in Worksop, Nottinghamshire at the Priory Church.

 

Is it too late?

The Picture of the Day for 31/08/2013 is a gorgeous image of a bridesmaid being pampered before her duties begin.

A couple of little onlookers also made it into the image, which is why I think it’s so special – capturing natural moments like this is what I love to do!
