Colour Pop

This was featured on the blog to celebrate Mexico’s Day of the Dead – traditionally a day of celebrating all of those before us – the dead were still members of the community, kept alive in memory and spirit – and instead of mourning them, their lives are celebrated instead. So we thought we would celebrate with this creative and alternative wedding shoot. If your looking for a real alternative Gothic wedding style for your big day this styled shoot from a team of talented suppliers is sure to tick all the boxes. An alternative Gothic wedding in the Goth capital of Whitby shows us how you can really go to town adding unique style and personality to your wedding day.

Goth Luxe

This inspirational shoot was created for one reason only, un-representation. Transgender bride El was the main inspiration for the shoot and the team wanted to work with El in a wedding capacity as their community is unrepresented. Being Transgender doesn’t stop you from wanting to get married, and it shouldn’t stop you from getting married. We celebrate this inspirational shoot with Goth wedding vibes.
