Bridal fashion photography | vintage railway station


7 comments add a comment

My mum always told me not to play on train tracks. Last week I did just that!

On a long car journey a photographer friend and I cooked up a plan to do a photo shoot at a vintage train station. It was just something we wanted to do. After all, play time is important – to develop your work and for the soul.

So between us we organised a model, dresses, a hair and make-up artist and of course a fabulous location. Some other photography nuts joined us for the shoot. There’s nothing that makes you think more than the friendly rivalry of a group of other photographers shooting alongside you!

We had a great day. Model Gabby was just brilliant. Sweet sixteen and as composed as a highly composed thing. Even when a steam train went thundering past billowing smoke, encasing her in steam and covering us all with soot! The driver, obviously put out that she wasn’t paying any attention to the train’s arrival, then pipped the whistle so hard we all jumped. Cue child-like giggles all round.

Here are some favourites. It’s not normally my thing to put a vintage toning on my pictures but it seemed to suit the occasion, so a few of these have a different look.

Beautifully styled and shot, I love the second image, stunning! You captured the vintage feel but it still feels clean and modern.

Feeling very chuffed to see my dresses looking so lovely on such gorgeous girls and in an amzing location. Gorgeous!

Thank you all for your lovely comments!

Louise – I’m so glad because that’s just the look I wanted, vintage based but shot in a clean, contemporary way.

Dana – you’re so very welcome. It was a pleasure to photograph such beautiful dresses.

Catherine – thank you, that’s one of my favourites too!

Thanks Sophie! The location is part of the Great Central Railway network. Such a great place, full of inspiration.
