Weddings: Retro styling at its finest in this Copper and Bloom photoshoot

Specialising in wondrous weddings ‘which break the tradition mould’ Jess Sheldon, of Cambridge-based Copper and Bloom, joined forces with a talented team to create this Be My Valentine photoshoot

*THE IDEA

“The concept for this shoot was inspired by the 2023 wedding trends; the retro wedding is back in action, and you will see this year that couples are embracing lots of elements of this!” explains Jess. “We chose Valentine as the main inspiration with the classic red and pinks associated with it. The shoot took place at the beautiful Venue at Lodge Farm in Fulbourn. It was a perfect backdrop with its natural oak beam barn and stunning countryside views.”
