The

Helena

Shoot

Collaborating with sustainable British bridalwear designer Rolling in Roses, this editorial was captured at No.1 by GuestHouse York — a beautifully considered, character-filled space and a popular choice for intimate register office weddings, just a short walk from York’s Registry Office. Thoughtfully designed interiors feature locally sourced antiques, art and curios that quietly tell York’s story, providing an elegant backdrop for the modern, romantic silhouettes of the dresses. Featuring Grace as our model, with clean, natural, glowing makeup by my favourite artist Eleanor Jayne MUA, this shoot celebrates considered design, atmosphere, and contemporary bridal style. Shot on a mixture of film and digital.
