Winter This rich and moody-styled shoot features glowing candlelight, velvet textures and cinematic warmth Images courtesy of Cherished Photography by Claudia WINDS At the heart of the inspiration for this shoot was a deep red wedding dress that was dramatic, romantic and full of movement. The colour alone sets the tone – it’s confident, passionate and a little bit mysterious. Paired with a dark green suit, the contrast feels timeless yet modern, like the forest and the fire in perfect balance. Together, the team creates a palette that’s earthy but elegant, perfect for autumn or winter celebrations, or for couples who love moody tones and meaningful details. As daylight faded, the atmosphere transformed with a tablescape of candles and twinkle lights wrapped around trees and woven through the tablescape. There’s something magical about how this light falls on rich fabrics and skin tones, as it adds warmth and depth that feels cinematic. It’s not just décor, it’s part of the storytelling. The day consisted of velvet ribbons, antique brass accents and candles in glass and wooden holders. Florals lean into the palette too, with deep burgundy roses, soft greenery and touches of cream and seasonal berries to break up the darkness. The result feels lush and layered, like a secret garden at dusk. REGIONAL SHOOT 49
