I’m only getting to posting this shoot now. It feels like ages ago. Back in January, I shot the Spring bridesmaid photoshoot for ‘Getting Married in Northern Ireland’. This is the second Spring photoshoot I’ve done. Both times it has snowed. Perfect for a winter edition of course! But thats how it goes with location shoots.

In fact, I think I’ve only had two shoots for the magazine where it has been warm and sunny.  You’ve got to be up for the challenge and work with it! This kind of shoot is pretty hectic. Hair and makeup get hours. The photographer gets minutes. When you have 8-11 dresses to shoot, one model and a limited amount of daylight hours,  the pressure is on! Each dress takes about 5 -10 minutes to shoot before the model starts to turn blue. And they are pretty good at pretending not to be cold!

Shot on location at The Glenavon Hotel, Cookstown. Hair and makeup by O Two Hair and beauty, Cookstown. Model: Chantelle Derrick, Pose Models, Belfast. Assisting: Editor, Claire Martin and Tracey Moore, Getting Married in Northen Ireland Magazine.
