Gothic romance

Ettington Park was chosen for this styled shoot due to its Gothic architecture and beautiful décor. “We wanted something rich and suited to the Gothic theme,” says shoot coordinator and celebrant, Louise Goode. “We wanted to create a theatrical vibe with a touch of the rebellious and outrageous, and I think all the collaborators did just that. Our hair stylist, Dionne’s Hair & Beauty, was right on cue with the wild and messy up do that she created for our model, Sarah, and we topped off the look with the perfect necklace and tiara from Uptight Clothing. The make-up artist Rachel from Finnella Beauty knocked it out of the park with her dark and sultry looks for both models. The boots from New Rock and jacket from Niamh Designs added a rebellious edge and the showstopping cake from Amy Bakers Cakes was striking, with red roses cascading down and inscribed with gold leaf. To finish the whole look, we invited fiddle player, Ralph Allin, to bring some electricity to the event with his skeletal red violin.”
