T his shoot was the creative project of Gilly Keat from Amore Star Events and Hannah Larkin of Hannah Larkin Photography. Talking about the shoot, Hannah said, “At a time when ‘diversity’ in mainstream online and print media is a hot topic, we were keen to create a styled shoot of models from different backgrounds. As an international photographer, I’m used to working with clients from a range of ethnicities. Having had a multicultural wedding myself, it’s really important to me that couples planning their big day can see inspirational shoots featuring couples they can relate to. “Our model Allan is black Caribbean and was born in Trinidad and Tobago, while model Nadia is mixed race – half Jamaican and half English.” The creative team also wanted to show that by combining a trio of different colours you can provide a consistent look, carried through from invitation to cake cutting. “As a wedding coordinator and stylist, I’ve seen many events use colour themes,” adds Gilly. “We opted for a blended palette of blush pink, sparkling gold and navy blue. Deciding to set the shoot in a manor house added a feeling of opulence and elegance that ran throughout the day.” 
