Yesterday my wonderful wife (owner of Louise Perry Bridal) and I spent the day at Denton Hall near Ilkley. The reason for our visit was to do a bridal shoot. The aim of the shoot was to show off real women in my wife's latest bridal collections. Our models were four of our friends who very kindly volunteered. They came from all walks of life but most importantly they were not professional models. They are all beautiful as I am sure you will agree from the photos that will follow shortly but they are like most women on their actual wedding day in that they are not at home in front of the camera, they may not be able to switch between multiple poses flawlessly and they are not size zero. This was exactly the point though. We wanted to show women looking for bridal gowns a real image of how they may look in one of these stunning dresses. Hopefully this will allow them to more readily imagine themselves wearing the dress on their big day.
