Very happy to share some lovely bridal portraits with you today, styled beautifully by the one and only Ginny Au. These portraits were taken by Heidi Lau, Canadian photographer, at the Belle Lumière all film workshop late last summer. Have a look, the florals, styling, and photography are all so gorgeous and will serve to be a perfect mid-week inspiration.
From the photographer…Last summer I attended a film only workshop with the fine art magazine Belle Lumiere. It was daunting and liberating to not bring my digital camera with me. I had started out in film when I was first exposed to photography, I then switched over to digital when film started to phase out and digital cameras were all the rage. I still love digital photography, it definitely has it’s strengths but my true love for photography will always be film. I love the tangible process of actually making photographs and the undeniable beauty of film colours, tones and grain. The Belle Lumiere workshop allowed me to experiment with medium format and after my first shoot I was hooked.
This styled shoot was on the second day of the workshop, everything was expertly styled by the amazing Ginny Au. Her ability to style simple and authentic shoots is truly a gift. It was a dream to photograph and all the other vendors really put in all their time and talent to make this all happen. This workshop will always be dear to my hear because it reminded me of why I loved photography in the first place, being able to slow down, take it all in and remember the moments.
I love how natural and organic this shoot feels. From the lighting to the color palette, the florals and the long flowing gown, what’s not to love? Thank you to Heidi for the images and to the fabulous vendors who came together for this inspiring workshop!
