Warm autumnal tones, luxurious textures, elegant details and an incredible team brought the vision to life, from the cascading florals to the bespoke couture gowns. This shoot captures the perfect balance of sophistication and romance, and Valentina, Sorci Ledyukova Photo & Film, is here with all the details.
With its timeless grandeur and elegant architecture, Rise Hall was the perfect backdrop for this styled shoot. Its stately interiors and sweeping grounds provided an air of sophistication that beautifully complemented our vision of modern romance. The venue’s large windows flooded the space with soft, natural light, adding to the warmth of the autumnal palette and creating a luminous setting for the tablescape and floral arrangements. The historic charm of the exterior, paired with its contemporary updates, tied together the old-world elegance and modern styling that defined this shoot.
Inspired by the grandeur of Rise Hall, the shoot celebrated luxurious textures, rich autumnal tones, and opulent details. The styling incorporated statement floral arrangements with a mix of dried and fresh blooms, adding depth and drama to the classic setting. The fashion was meticulously chosen to complement this aesthetic, featuring a chic, structured gown with an air of vintage sophistication and a glamorous reception look adorned with delicate feathers.
The colour palette for this styled shoot was deeply inspired by the richness of the autumn season. It featured warm and earthy tones such as rust, terracotta, and deep burgundy, balanced with soft neutrals like ivory and champagne. These hues were complemented by pops of blush and muted pinks, adding a romantic and modern touch. The seasonal palette was warm, inviting and luxurious.
The tablescapes featured cascading floral arrangements in rich autumnal hues, including burnt orange, deep red, and blush pink, paired with opulent fruits for a lush, painterly effect. Luxurious satin tablecloths added a soft, sophisticated sheen, while gold accents in the chairs, cutlery, and candleholders brought a touch of glamour. Using natural textures alongside refined details created a harmonious balance, perfectly complementing the venue’s grandeur.
The amazing Emma Cox was the florist for the shoot. Emma was chosen for her distinctive, timeless, and innovative style. She expertly curated a beautiful selection of florals that perfectly complemented the shoot’s vision.
Exclusive bespoke designs from the prestigious Kate Edmondson elevated the fashion for this styled shoot. These never-seen-before gowns, created for this shoot, embodied Kate’s signature understated elegance and contemporary luxury style. The bride’s structured gown, with its voluminous skirt and off-shoulder neckline, reflected meticulous craftsmanship, while the feathered mini dress offered a modern, playful option for a second look. Both pieces were crafted in Kate’s London atelier, using the finest fabrics and intricate detailing, exemplifying the highest standard of couture design. The groom’s tailored tuxedo completed the refined, timeless aesthetic.
