The venue choice came from my desire to find somewhere city centre based but grand enough to feel like it transports you somewhere else.  Given the shoots elopement feel I wanted the venue to be intimate and beautiful. With the venue having such unique features, when it came to imagery, we wanted to utilise the features as much as possible..

It was the perfect setting for a moody, dramatic shoot and Taylar-Jayde’s dark edit style assisted in the intimate yet emotion filled concept.  I knew from a style perspective, I didn’t want it to be a ‘flowery’ shoot and the bouquet style came from the venues use of grand palms and greenery.
