Vintage inspired 1950s Wedding Dresses by Lindsay Fleming

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

Our studio has a great location in our opinion.  We are based in rural Lanarkshire but can be in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dumfries, Ayr, Stirling, Carlisle etc to photograph weddings, fashion or portraits in no time at all.  We get lots of couples who live south of the border booking our wedding photography services as our studio is only 2 minutes from the M74 (the main road most people take to head south or north when planning their wedding) – and as we make great coffee, we are a much nicer stopping off point than the motorway services!

We have another major wedding supplier based within a few miles of us and that is Lindsay Fleming Couture.  Their reputation was built originally on their stunning celtic wedding dress designs but they have been receiving huge attention in the last couple of years for their vintage inspired wedding dress designs.  They have a range of weddings dresses based on wedding dress designs from the 1920s and the 1950s and as vintage is very much in vogue, they are well worth checking out.

Earlier this year, we did a fashion photography photoshoot of some of their newer 1950s inspired wedding dress designs using the awe inspiring venue, The Dome in Edinburgh (also available as a wedding venue).  Hair and makeup was provided by the fabulous Sharon and Monica at Made-up.

Here are some of our favourite images from the fashion shoot:

Sub-zero photoshoot of celtic and medieval wedding dresses

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Mark and I were enjoying a meal out with friends in Edinburgh having had a hair raising journey through in freezing fog; the car thermometer had been showing -14C.  Midway through the meal, we received a text from David at Lindsay Fleming Couture asking if Mark was up for a photoshoot at the derelict Crawford Castle on Sunday morning if David could find a model (mad enough) to agree.  After several weeks of snow and very cold temperatures, our local area was looking very picturesque and apparently Crawford Castle was a backdrop that David had had his eye on for a while.

Mark insisted that the text was a joke!  Who would he find willing to model their celtic and medieval wedding dresses at 9am on a Sunday morning when Crawford had been reaching temperatures down to -18C for several days?  We replied that Mark was up for anything if David could find a model who was crazy enough …… enter the very brave Karen …..

The morning was so cold that Mark was wearing several pairs of trousers over each other just to avoid frostbite.  Apparently Karen was well wrapped up under the dresses but still, the wind chill would have cut you in two.  However, I think you will agree, the results were worth the sub zero experience and Karen has recovered without any ill effects!
