This beautiful local shoot was rooted in a passion for celebrating diversity and for taking wildlife conservation seriously. “We wanted to celebrate same sex marriages in an inspirational woodland setting, showing the true natural beauty that’s accessible in our local environments,” says shoot coordinator Rebecca White from Flutes Events. The enchanting wedding breakfast tablescape echoed the woods and was set amidst an abundance of bluebells to create a sense of tranquillity and calmness. Bluebells are known to symbolise everlasting love so their presence here is significant. Rebecca continues, “We wanted to connect with the excitement for the natural environment, which was amplified when the hawk flew between the models arms.” Indeed, the shoot’s avian pals were on hand to offer the images oodles of wow factor. The turkey vulture displayed his impressive wing span above the outstretched arms of the model bride, a truly magnificent bird. Meanwhile, the gorgeous burrowing owl showed both intelligence and bags of cuteness, and the hawk was only too happy to show off his skills and speed. The flowers, gold tableware, and stationery all married together with the rest of the design elements to bring a sense of beauty, refinement, indulgence, individuality and splendour. All a far cry from the threatened and persecuted life of the vanishing vultures. 60
