Alternative Wedding Photography : The Spirit of Beltane – Styled Shoot

Last month I was lucky enough to go along to one of the fabulous Styled Shoots by Melissa Love and the team.  Having never taken part in a styled shoot before, I was so curious and excited to see what we would be photographing.  The whole day was designed purely for like minded photographers to get together and be creative, shooting beautifully styled scenes.  The shoots were held at the gorgeous Avins Farm , which was an amazing backdrop for the shoots which were themed around The spirit of Beltane and Gypsy Caravans.

The shoots were led by two amazing photographers Lisa Devlin and Joanna Brown, whose work I really admire, they both have a different approach and it was an amazing experience seeing how they work and to get to know them.

The Gypsy Caravan shoot I will share in another post, but for today, feast your eyes on these pretty things!! Kristy & Sam were the models for the Spirit of Beltane.  Beltane is traditionally a celebration of Spring and fertility, the ‘love dance of the Gods’ and what perfect models to represent such magic!
