I knew it would be tricky photography conditions as it is completely pitch black in the cave apart from a small amount of fixed lighting. The caves are also home to bats and therefore no flash photography is allowed. This shoot took me back to one of my favourite projects at university (many moons ago) where I did a lot of night photography and specifically used light to create magical images out of otherwise very ordinary spaces. Never one to shy away from a challenge I knew we could create something magical and beautiful here.

Megan wears this gorgeous wedding dress from Evolved Bridal – The ‘Melly’ dress by Rara Avis is stunning with its flowing skirt, open back and sheer sleeves. To give the look an edge, the gown was paired with hand-painted Dr Martens and a custom biker jacket by Inanna Bespoke Shoes. She’s also rocking some fab accessories – a dried flower crown from Luna & Wild, and an array of accessories from Bunny Loves Evie, including a headpiece, necklace and earrings.

Claire’s Sweet Temptations provided an elopement style cake. She designed a slate-coloured cake accented with dried flowers from The Cornish Flower Company in the autumn-rust colour palette. 

Toni Gogola Wedding Hair created a hairstyle of long loose waves, really showing off Megan’s long red locks. Nicola Redman Makeup chose to keep the makeup natural on Megan with shades of peach and orange to tie in the colour palette with a gentle shimmer on her eyes.
