Creative Bridal Portrait photo shoot and behind the scenes video produced by gavin conlan photography Ltd

September 15, 2017 Gavin Conlan

Every so often it's really important to get together with other wedding professionals to work on personal projects, it gives us the perfect opportunity to experiment with new styles, looks and photo techniques as well as getting inspired by each other. For this shoot I was lucky enough to work with Tina, Emma and Dee once more and lovely models for the first time, as on our previous shoot for Belchamp Hall the results were great! I especially wanted to create a behind the scenes video for the shoot and the final production exceeded my expectations - combined with the music I purchased I find it quite emotional to watch.
