This carefully restored family home is an award-winning luxury wedding and event venue, surrounded by breath taking views and presented within luxurious gardens and rolling fields and offers the most spectacular backdrop for the shoot. Hodsock Priory’s epic proportions require some equally epic styling to hold its own and Samantha at Willow and Rust did not disappoint.

With heaps of monochromatic throughout the styling and photography, we really get to focus a lot on the textures and shapes within this shoot. We simply adore the stylish look and the idea of a modern yet timeless design. Highlighting effortless style whilst making it affordable. Although typically monochromatic palettes are seen in a more contemporary style. We love how this is injected with a vintage twist showing how it can be flexible for the present-day couple.
