Original Source: Not-So Bleak Midwinter. A Christmas Wedding Shoot at Ponden Mill
It’s holiday season on the blog, and we’re signing off to snatch a few days of Christmas cheer (whatever that means in 2020!) with our families. We’ll be back in January with service as usual, but from the 27th December onwards be sure to watch this space for a very special end of year treat! Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
Aiming to take some of the bleakness out of the 2020 midwinter, we’re joining Heather and the Ponden Mill team in the heart of the Yorkshire countryside for a cosy and festive family shoot, full of Christmassy stylings and seasonal scenes.
Like most of us, Heather just loves Christmas so, when it came to hosting a styled wedding shoot at the beautifully restored old cotton mill, a festive theme and a desire to bring the outside in was at the forefront of the plans. Think Narnia but without any pesky lions, witches or in fact wardrobes to get in the way of the dreamy, wintery forest setting. Instead, we’re seeing heaps of foliage, fresh Christmas trees, pinecones, snowflakes and real snow! What a magical way to set a scene!
Helped by a band of merry local Yorkshire suppliers, the Ponden team have pulled off a truly enchanting display. The simple but glam palette of white and gold is super on-trend for the season and the hearty and homely roast dinner spread is perfect for making sure family, friends, nearest and dearest will all have happy, full tummies before the evening’s through. I’m sure you’ll agree that food is certainly a crucial part of the whole family Christmas experience!
The bride and groom look every inch the happy couple in a stunning Pronovias gown with sheer sleeves and, as a perfect contrast to the lightness of the fabric of the dress, a heavy wine coloured tweed suit. Let’s ‘step into Christmas’ and find out more about how this styled shoot came together…
