To keep my creativity alive as an alternative wedding photographer based in London, I always have to think at new projects to work on. Like unusual bridal photoshoot, so when Lau from French Made and Myriam from La Dame au Beret and I, sat down to brainstorm a new story, this is exactly what we wanted to achieve. Something unique and very alternative. We wanted something creative and challenging, something that was exciting, fun and refreshing. I photograph many gay weddings, and I really wanted our alternative wedding photoshoot to have a message containing the LGBTQ values. The brainstorming triggered new ideas and as Lau and Myriam are both French we were thrilled to investigate the innovative images of Jean-Paul Gaultier and Pierre et Gilles.

The end result of our photoshoot

We were looking for a wedding theme that combined cool imagery with vivid colours. To bring to life original Bridal inspirations for the not so conventional couples. We loved the final project. This alternative wedding photoshoot has been very successfully and is featured on...Way Out Wedding Blog, Mr and Mrs Unique Blog, OUT, Madmoizelle Bee Bee Blog
