A Haunted Affair Styled Shoot by Pickle Photography

And now, as the Monty Python boys would say, for something completely different. Halloween's never been my favourite holiday (I am a WOES with scary movies, can't cope at all), but when I saw today's spooky, kooky, totally gorgeous styled shoot by the fab Pickle Photography and a brilliant team including Carolyn McNeil of Adore Weddings & Events and Sarah Reynolds of Urban Lace, I knew we'd be celebrating it in style on the blog today. It's a tale of two little ghouls in love - complete with Day of the Dead-style makeup - along with a series of spine-chillingly lovely details. THAT CAKE. So okay, you're probably not going to go ahead and have a wedding that looks like this one, but there are still some lovely antique woodland-style details to inspire. Happy Hallows, folks!
Here's a bit of background from the team on their creation:
We have been loosely chatting about a Halloween Styled shoot for a while - we wanted something that incorporated "Day of the Dead" but without all the colors, more spooky and old fashioned, something a bit haunting. So many people were involved in making this happen, brainstorming together and sharing ideas - I honestly worked with such a dream team with everyone giving so freely of their time and resources. We didn't even have a proper dress for Gina, her outfit was made up of two separate tutus, her matric dance skirt, a corset and a belt that came together at the last minute. With me being a hefty 36 weeks pregnant at the time, I think a lot of people feared I might actually go into labour before the shoot so it was quite funny!
