Styled Shoot: Enzoani 2015 UK Editorial Photo-shoot

A Fabulous venue, Beautiful dresses, and a stunning South Wales sun set...the perfect recipe for a beautiful photo-shoot.

Fresh off the catwalk from the 2015 UK launch event in Swansea we took four of the new 2015 Enzoani dresses for a private photo shoot with Purecreations Photography. The shoot took place on a beautiful sunny day in July at the stunning location of Stradey Castle in Llanelli, South Wales. Built in 1850, Stradey Castle is a family run estate set on 1,800 acres of land. The exquisite house and grounds provided a breath-taking backdrop for our shoot. We asked Rob Jones from Purecreations Photography to tell us all about the day.

Tell us about the 2015 Enzoani Editorial shoot

When we heard that Enzoani UK were planning their launch we had to be involved, so Tracie Willis (Enzoani UK Marketing Manager) asked if we would cover the event. It took us about one second to say yes. I then asked Tracie how she felt about us taking a couple of dresses on location to show how wonderful these gowns are. Wow, what a day, we decided with the British weather we needed a location that could offer an inside and outside shoot. We decided on Stradey Castle; it would provide us with everything we needed. I then asked a couple of good friends of ours to be involved, just to make this a huge success, Steve Ratcliffe my trusted and awesome videographer, was asked to do a behind-the-scenes of the event and shoot, and he provided us with an amazing result. I then asked Justin Harris who is a good friend and fellow photographer, as he has a fashion background. We thought with our wedding knowledge and his fashion photgraphy skills, we could combine the two into a real wedding/fashion shoot. We then needed makeup and hair, Jenna Kelly was approached to cover the makeup and Jasmin Mann the hair. Justin then asked Tanya Igic for a couple of head piece... An epic day with awesome team ...

What was the inspiration behind the 2015 Enzoani editorial shoot?

The main inspiration was to bring the essence of the 2015 collection to the UK market with the feel of a real bride, that every potential bride could imagine herself in an Enzoani gown.
