Boho-Styled Bridal Shoot – The Hill Farm House, Brigstock, Northants
Back in May my good friends at KTV Wedding Planners & KTV Venue Stylists asked if I would be up for photographing a boho-styled bridal photo shoot for them at the gorgeous The Hill Farm House, in Brigstock, Northants. It’s one of Northamptonshire’s newest wedding venues and is set in ten acres of stunning countryside.
As with previous photo shoots with KTV, a great host of awesome local wedding suppliers were on hand to do their bit to add to the overall picture.
The Blushing Bride
Danielle from Unorthodox Make-Up Box and Jema from Salonista were responsible for giving our glamourous model, Emma, the perfect “boho” look.

Two gorgeous wedding dresses were supplied by Corby-based bridal shop Elegance by Design. The first was an Art Couture modern crepe straight sheer lace bodice and the second an Eternity bridal gown with delicate floral lace and a stretch jersey underneath.

Wedding Flowers
Bridal bouquets and other perfectly-placed wedding flowers were provided by Wendy at Rockingham Flowers. The small hand-tied bouquet was white spray roses and lily of the valley.

The large, unstructured bouquet included pink peony roses, skimmia, eucalyptus, viburnum and treefern.

The hand-tied bouquet that was made later in the day contained just the peony roses, the skimmia and the white spray roses.

All of these flowers were used to fill the vases and help decorate the cake.

Wedding Cake
Fiona from Butterwick Bakes produced a stunning (both visually and on the taste-buds) naked cake for the occasion. The vanilla sponge, homemade jam and buttercream combination looked great amongst the natural backdrop.

Finishing Touches
Thanks to KTV’s own inventory of props, as well as additions from both Cloud 9 Event Hire and Beau Bright Event Design, there was no shortage of extra touches. A swing, white lanterns, a rustic screen, a classic vintage doorway and hay bales were all utilised over the course of the day.

The Hill Farm House, Brigstock, Northants
We had such a good time at The Hill Farm House. It really does have so many beautiful areas for wedding day photographs, some obvious, some not so, and it was a real treasure trove of variety.
