Flowers in The attic

Where past brides became present collaborators, and every thread told a story.

There’s something cinematic about winter light. The way it lingers in the folds of tulle, the way it softens edges and sharpens mood — perfect for a bridal editorial where every detail was steeped in story.

But this wasn’t just any shoot.

This day at Mont du Soleil brought together not only an extraordinary team of industry creatives, but three of my past brides — now talented professionals shaping the wedding world in their own right. To collaborate with them again, this time as peers and fellow artists, was a true full-circle moment I’ll never forget.

From concept to creation, this editorial was about more than styling — it was about connection, craftsmanship, and the beauty of evolving together.

The gowns featured in this shoot is a celebration of bespoke detail: soft embroidered appliqué, whimsical shoulder ruffles, and layers of sheer tulle designed to move with the wind. A gown made for the bride who values meaning in every stitch and isn't afraid to wear something truly her own.

Set against the rustic romance of Mont du Soleil — with its European charm and aged patina — the scene was magic from the first frame.
